500,000 Honeybees Perish in Netherlands Arson Attack.
A Dutch beekeeper has voiced shock after his 10 beehives were set ablaze in a park in the central city of Almere, resulting in the death of an estimated 500,000 bees.
The beekeeper mentioned that every colony housed a colony of forty to sixty thousand bees, and the thought that anyone could kill them was devastating.
"It is deeply painful that my 10 hives have died," he informed local broadcaster.
Law enforcement in Almere, located to the east of Amsterdam, have requested observers after the deliberate fire on Tuesday night in the city's picturesque Beatrixpark. They posted pictures of the fire on online platforms.
The Dutch government reports that over 50% of the country's 360 types of bee are at threat of extinction, as the population of bees declines globally.
Mr Stringer said that police had informed him an flammable substance had been employed to ignite the colonies, which were placed on pallets in a forested area of the park.
Barely any of the bees survived and he said that he had doubt the arsonist would be apprehended.
Another apiarist a local beekeeper told national radio that she had three hives and planned to donate one of them.
For the beekeeper, who cared for the bees for about almost a decade, the fire means starting a fresh hive in the park from the beginning.
But he insists he will continue his efforts.
