And a few years ago I first heard of beehives being stolen in California. A quick google shows a current case in France.

A black market pistachio ring? That’s pretty nuts.
Quick FYI, pistachios are a favorite snack in Mexico, and resellers sell their goods at the border crossing…like pistachios, blocks of cheese, or whatever the Mexican folks prefer to grab on the way home. Somebody would make a killing with 21 tons of pistachios.
