According to a press release issued by the Police Grand-Ducale on Monday, 3.8 million bees in 47 hives were stolen between 3 and 25 August.

The stolen hives were located in the forests of Abweiler, Wickrange and Roedgen.

Since the honey harvest hadn’t started yet, the beekeepers also lost their honey.

Police are still looking for evidence.

Witnesses are urged to call 113.
