Clearly they were interrupted at that point by about 40,000 angry bees and absconded because I found the roof chucked off to one side and three frames scattered on the ground.
Less good was that it has been raining very heavily the past couple of days (so all the bees were in the hive, which would have been even more of a shock for the would be thief). I suspect it had only happened last night or this morning but the bees and the inside of the hive were drenched. this is not good for bees.
It was only by pure chance that we went to check on them today. Otherwise it wouldn't have been until the weekend by which time we would have lost the whole colony...
Why are people so stupid? I mean even if I was a thieving asshole, a beehive is not the place I would choose to go thieving...
Maybe it was a bear. They like honey.
My dad used to keep bees. And all the wild bees we've had in our roof for the past 20 years seem to have died off this past winter, which is rather sad.

I have a map to the Kingdom but was forced to surrender the keys.
