Bee rustling is a crime involving the theft of honey bees. It has been known to occur in Western Canada and the Western United States, as with cattle rustling, also in the United Kingdom. A 2014 theft in California was valued at $65,000 and a December 2016 theft of 300 bee colonies in Texas was valued at $90,000.[[2][3] Bees and honey worth $100,000 were stolen from a farm in Abbotsford, British Columbia in 2012.[4] The California State Beekeepers Association offers a $10,000 reward for information resulting in the arrest and conviction of a bee rustler.[5]Modern Farmer, The Guardian and others ascribe the increase in this crime to higher honeybee values after the colony collapse disorder since 2006.][[7][8]]See alsoReferences1. ^1 {{citation|title=Forget Cattle Rustling—Watch Out For Bee Rustlers|date=January 11, 2017 |author=Doyin Oyeniyi |work=Texas Monthly|url=http://www.texasmonthly.com/the-daily-post/bee-rustlers-strike-beekeeper-manvel/}} subtitle $90,000 of bees were stolen from a Danbury resident as bee rustling is on the rise.
