Vandals kill 500,000 Bees

[Catherine]

Quote:The ecological consequences of the loss of half a million bees are important, too. But it is the deliberate, planned but senseless viciousness and cruelty of this attack which worries me most.

This is not the first act of vandalism directed at bees. Vandalism is bad, but this deliberate attacking of bees is very scary.
Why would someone attack bees. They are harmless and essential to our survival. They attack the bees in the winter when they are dormant. Is it more than just senseless destruction. Are they really intending to kill bees.

Tobi you paint a very clear picture of life after bees. It won't be pretty. Too much of our food chain depends on pollinators.

I thought I might find one or two stories of hive vandalism, but there were many more. I didn't find ones that I remember so there are others.
I didn't post all of them. Maybe armed guards for hive are not such a bad idea. It may come to that. We have to protect the pollinators.
