Police investigating after multiple beehives set on fire in St. Louis County
SUMMARY: Sure, please provide the content you would like me to summarize.
The Ladue and Frontenac Police Departments are each investigating after two separate beehives were set on fire in just the past two months.
The most recent incident occurred Sept. 11 around 5 a.m. at the Carmelite Monastery off Clayton Road. Doorbell video from across the street shows an explosion in the distance and smoke billowing from the beehive.
The Ladue Fire Department responded and put the fire out before it could spread, but the hive was destroyed. It appeared the alleged suspect doused the hive with a fire accelerant—possibly gasoline—before setting it ablaze.
Neighbor Amanda Holman was stunned to find out what happened.
“It was somewhat of an explosion,” Holman explained. “Somebody definitely didn’t want these bees here anymore.”
She lives close to the monastery and knows the beekeeper, and she says he is devastated by what happened. The beekeeper, who spoke to FOX 2 but did not want to be identified, had an agreement with the monastery that he could use the space. He underscored how unnecessary setting the hive on fire was and emphasized how critical bees are to our ecosystem.
Other neighbors also don’t understand why someone would do this, according to Holman.
“They’re honeybees! They’re critical to our existence. It’s a shame. But I hope whoever did this either learns their lesson or gets caught,” she said.
SUMMARY: As temperatures plunge into the single digits, essential workers are braving the harsh conditions to keep the city operational. Taylor Harris reports live, highlighting the efforts of various workers including delivery drivers, law enforcement, and emergency responders. Delivery driver Brian Sparks, with nearly 20 years of experience, notes this is the worst winter storm he’s faced in a decade, emphasizing the dangers of icy conditions. He manages around 60 deliveries in an 8-hour shift while staying warm in layers. The CDC warns of frostbite and hypothermia risks, urging customers to assist by clearing pathways and being ready upon delivery.
From law enforcement to emergency responders, construction crews, and delivery drivers, essential workers are pushing through these dangerous conditions to get the job done.

Biden pardons Fauci, Jan. 6 committee ahead of Trump inauguration
SUMMARY: In a final act before leaving office, President Joe Biden granted pardons to several public servants targeted by Donald Trump, including Dr. Anthony Fauci and retired Gen. Mark Milley. He also pardoned members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 Capitol attack, as well as several police officers who testified. Biden emphasized that these individuals served the nation honorably and do not deserve politically motivated prosecutions. While some committee members may accept the pardons, others feel they are unnecessary. Biden defended his actions as a response to exceptional circumstances, asserting the rule of law should prevail.

TikTok restores service for US users based on Trump’s promised executive order
SUMMARY: TikTok restored service to U.S. users on Sunday after going dark due to a federal ban. President-elect Donald Trump announced he would issue an executive order to extend the deadline for TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to sell its U.S. operations. The ban stemmed from national security concerns, but Trump’s order aimed to provide more time for a potential sale. Despite app removals from stores, users regained access, and Trump’s actions were viewed as a political maneuver. TikTok’s future remains uncertain, with no confirmed buyers, and questions about the legality of Trump’s intervention persist.
