500,000 Bees Perish in Netherlands Fire Incident.
A Dutch beekeeper has voiced shock after his 10 beehives were set ablaze in a public garden in the central city of Almere, resulting in the death of an estimated 500,000 bees.
Harold Stringer mentioned that every colony housed a colony of 40-60,000 bees, and the idea that someone could kill them was devastating.
"It is deeply painful that my 10 hives have died," he informed regional media.
Police in Almere, which sits to the northeast of Amsterdam, have appealed for observers after the arson attack on Tuesday night in the city's scenic Beatrixpark. They shared images of the blaze on social media.
The Dutch government reports that more than half of the nation's 360 types of bee are at risk of dying out, as the population of bees decreases globally.
The beekeeper explained that authorities had informed him an flammable substance had been employed to burn the hives, which were placed on wooden platforms in a forested area of the park.
Barely any of the bees made it through and he said that he had doubt the perpetrator would be caught.
Another apiarist a local beekeeper told Dutch radio that she had three hives and planned to give him one of them.
For Mr Stringer, who cared for the colonies for about nine years, the incident means building a new colony in the area from the beginning.
But he insists he will continue his efforts.
