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 accelerantโpossibly gasolineโbefore setting it ablaze.
Neighbor Amanda Holman was stunned to find out what happened.
โIt was somewhat of an explosion,โ Holman explained. โSomebody definitely didn’t want these bees here anymore.โ
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.
โThey’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,โ she said.
