The California State Beekeepers Association (CSBA) maintains a list of reported hive thefts throughout the year on their website to assist with tracking thefts and providing information to members, growers, and media in an effort to recover hives. Additionally, the CSBA has partnered with Pipkin Detective Agency to create the Commercial Hive Theft Program which is offered to voting CSBA members that experience theft.
Please use this form to report a theft you have experienced to the CSBA. Reports should also be submitted to local law enforcement. The more information and documentation you can provide, the better.
