As with many stories here -
my tale has an element of truth.

You will find that apiarists (rich and tech savvy ones) can trace bee's genealogy from queen to hive to queen to hive within a localised are using dna analysis techniques.

The fact that the kid's prints were on file may have had more to do with him getting caught as the forensics cop lady managed to also get some fingerprints. But she was the one who asked about the beehive and then took samples.
