In Spring 2016, one of Quebec’s largest independent apiaries was robbed of 184 hives – over 5 million bees – valued at $200,000. The brazen crime sent shock waves through the beekeeping community and devastated the Labonté family, who have been producing honey in La Belle Province since 1937. Weaving the perspective of the Labontés, local media and court officials, the episode explores how one of Quebec’s most storied beekeeping families fell victim to the biggest bee theft in Canadian history.
