Hutchings became aware of her loss on Thursday after her hus- band Clarence couldn't find the hives, which had been prepared for an order. Tracks into and around Hutchings' bee yard indi- cated a flatbed truck was loaded with the hives fer- ried to the truck with a smaller vehicle which made its way through a narrower path to the bee yard near their home on McCann Road northwest of Crosby. The robbery has been reported to the OPP. The value of her loss, 10 hives times $1000 and 16 nucle- us hives times $210 is more than just money. "It's going to set me back two years or maybe more. I'm not going to quit. That's not in my blood. I just have to not sell as many bees," said Hutchings whose main business isn't honey, but selling bees. Hutchings' bees are in demand by beekeepers across North America and she has had orders this year from as far away as Alaska. Her bees haven't been treated with any kind of chemicals or medicine.
