Half a Million Honeybees Killed in Netherlands Fire Incident.
A beekeeper from the Netherlands has expressed dismay after his ten colonies were burned down in a public garden in the city of Almere, resulting in the loss of an estimated 500,000 bees.
Harold Stringer mentioned that each hive housed a population of 40-60,000 bees, and the idea that anyone could kill them was horrific.
"It is deeply painful that my 10 hives have perished," he informed local broadcaster.
Police in Almere, which sits to the northeast of Amsterdam, have requested witnesses after the deliberate fire on Tuesday night in the city's scenic Beatrixpark. They shared pictures of the blaze on online platforms.
The Dutch government reports that more than half of the nation's 360 types of bee are at threat of extinction, as the population of bees declines globally.
The beekeeper said that authorities had told him an flammable substance had been employed to ignite the hives, which were placed on pallets in a wooded part of the garden.
Almost none of the bees made it through and he said that he had little faith the arsonist would be caught.
Fellow beekeeper a local beekeeper told national radio that she had three hives and planned to give him a colony.
For Mr Stringer, who looked after the colonies for about nine years, the fire means building a fresh hive in the area from scratch.
But he insists he will continue his efforts.
