“Somebody came here, and tipped over all the boxes, and sprayed them with diesel fuel,” Perez told KSBW. “It killed a whole bunch of bees.”
The bees’ deaths will reportedly cost Perez more than $50,000 — which is his entire annual income, Hickenbottom claimed on a GoFundMe page he set up to help the beekeeper.
Environmental terrorism by #whitepeople. Horrible.
I can’t believe what I am reading
Did some googling and these are bafflingly TWO SEPARATE INSTANCES within a week! Alfonso Perez’s hives in California were knocked over and sprayed with gas, killing 200,000 bees. Additionally, Justin and Tori Englehardt’s hives in Iowa were knocked over and opened in subzero temps, killing 500,000 bees – but the perpetrators, two middle school aged boys, have been caught.
Donate to Alfonso’s GoFundMe here! He’s close to meeting the fundraising goal to restore his honey business.
Justin & Tori’s GoFundMe has reached its goal and is closed, they got $6k more than they were requesting!
