I had a couple hives, but that is big time. Sheesh we need those lil ole bees.... we really do.
I am sure the keeper needed them as well. I wanna start a fund raiser to help him recover....
I don't know how to accomplish the deed..... ???

I am a hobby beekeeper.  I think of my colonies as "my girls."  I am fully vested in their endeavors.  The loss of just one colony is devastating for me.  The loss of 2300 is incomprehensible.

That is seriously f'd up. This also affects the people he pollinates for. Why would someone do that?

The comments on the article (which are, for once, NOT full of vitriol and stupidity, once in a blue moon eh?) have a theory that it's another beekeeper. I dunno about that.

It never ceases to amaze me the nerve of some people in society. A sad day for Mother nature for sure.

my wife said the same thing when i sent her this article.

what kind of a nutjob does something like this? my first thought was that its personal and this guy really pissed someone off. atleast, no matter how stupid this is, a justification i can almost understand compared to "well maybe he just hates bees". unreal.

Yeah, this sounds like "I want to ruin you", not "I want to kill bees"
