500,000 Honeybees Perish in Netherlands Arson Attack.
A beekeeper from the Netherlands has voiced dismay after his ten colonies were burned down in a park in the city of Almere, causing the death of an estimated half a million bees.
The beekeeper mentioned that each hive housed a population of forty to sixty thousand bees, and the thought that anyone could destroy them was horrific.
"It is deeply painful that my ten colonies have died," he told regional media.
Law enforcement in Almere, located to the east of Amsterdam, have requested observers after the arson attack on Tuesday evening in the city's scenic Beatrixpark. They shared images of the blaze on social media.
The Netherlands authorities reports that more than half of the nation's 360 species of bee are at risk of extinction, as the number of bees declines globally.
Mr Stringer said that authorities had informed him an accelerant had been employed to ignite the colonies, which were placed on pallets in a forested area of the park.
Barely any of the bees made it through and he said that he had doubt the arsonist would be apprehended.
Another apiarist a local beekeeper stated on national radio that she had three bee colonies and planned to donate a colony.
For Mr Stringer, who cared for the colonies for about nine years, the incident means starting a fresh hive in the park from the beginning.
But he affirms he will continue his efforts.
