Since everybody is throwing out ideas mine would be:
1- Put up fake cameras with fake antennas prominently displayed, blinking light included. Include a fake solar panel. Can be obtained for a few dollars. Include a prominent sign that all activities are being recorded by covert and overt security measures.
2- Have a drone make regular trips to photograph the area. I know some company sells drones that can be programmed to do certain activities routinely and to charge themselves autonomously and thus limiting human involvement. Have prominent sign detailing that area is being protected by camera and drone surveillance, covert and overt.
3- Put up a real hidden solar powered video camera with motion detection. Have also some fake ones prominently displayed.

Fake measures are unlikely to work since the thieves won't be fooled - you have to assume the thieves know almost as much about the countermeasures as the beekepers themselves do. Your ideas are basically assuming that the thieves are amateurs, and amateurs that know nothing about beekeeping aren't going to be able to effectively monetize the bees they steal anyway.
