I came home today and found my hives knocked over and the bees were exposed to the elements all day. I don’t know if the queens survived. I put the hives back together as best I could.
Kids, I guess, brought up to be stupid and thoughtless by stupid and thoughtless parents thought it would be fun to kill my bees.
That’s the trouble in trying to do something in the suburbs. You are surrounded by people who have lost what little culture they ever had. They have no feel for the land or appreciation for the small creatures that live there. They think in terms of chemical green lawns and inflated property values.

That is horrible. Do you have any idea who did it? You should file a complaint!
Kids did it. I didn't see them and Erica was home but didn't hear anything. The threw rocks at the hives until they broke. They did not want to get too close.
God that's dreadful, poor things and poor you! I really hope the queens survived. Is there anything you can do to prevent it happening again?
I am going to move the furthest hive closer where it is in plain view from the back of my house.
