A friend of mine recovered a lovely colony from a lamp post, eventually boxed it , but as stragglers he secured it to the post, leaving the customary gap, as he needed to get back to work for a short while. The householder who had reported it was informed and he said he would keep an eye on it.
Another 'beekeeper' driving a green Land Rover, saw it and removed it for himself. When my friend returned the householder described the person.. who was well known to some of us. On phoning him, my friend was told it was a danger to the public and he admitted taking it. Shame on him! But par for that particular course.
