Bee Theft

A couple of years ago, Japan banned the imports of bees, in an effort to stop the spread of parasites. This is important. Bees are among the most important animals there is, since they are essential for the reproduction of many plants that are needed for the production of food and other things. The ban on importing bees has, however, led to a shortage of bees and an increase in the price of bees. This has, in turn, led to a rise in the theft of bees. It is hard to guard bees, since the bee hives are often placed far out in the fields on the countryside.

What is more, bees do not care about which humans they work with. Dogs are more important than bees, of course, but it is much harder to steal dogs. Dogs care about what humans they live and work with. Dogs generally live with their humans and would never voluntarily leave with people they do not trust. It must be much easier stealing bees than dogs. I hope the japanese can find a way protecting the bees of law abiding humans.
