[Understudy]

Maybe in the sting operation they will use all the mite infested hives. Let the theives take those.

I am wondering if they shouldn't put some type of mini lojack on the hive bodies and then track them that way and see who is stealing them.

The microdots are nice but you have to go find the hives.

Sincerely,
Brendhan
