Norwich is a-buzz, with thieves having stolen a beehive containing thousands of sleeping bees.
The hive was stolen from a community garden in Marlpit Lane, Norwich, between December 13 and 22, police said.
It contained bees hibernating for the winter.
A beehive would need at least two people to move it, police have said
Hives are typically home to between 20,000 and 60,000 creatures, and can cost anything between £750 and £1,000 to set up.
