Scattered Frames at Kingsport Dock

4 min

The Kingsport Coastal Ecology Unit maintains a compact research apiary — eight timber-framed observation hives arranged in two rows along the Terminal's sheltered west courtyard — as part of a running pollinator-census programme. When the unit's lead researcher, Dr Margit Solano, arrived at 07:40 on Saturday morning, she found the courtyard in disorder: several hive frames had been displaced, colony data sheets scattered, and a storage bench overturned. No bees were harmed, but weeks of placement records were disrupted. Your task is to profile the offender's behaviour — not to name who did it.

The scene

Kingsport Ocean Terminal, a 1930s ocean-liner embarkation building repurposed as a heritage education centre and seasonal field-study hub
