A $30,000.00 reward is some serious money.  The man really cares about his bees.
Bless the poor fella, killing innocent bees is a terrible thing for a person,s to do.  Cain will always be around somewhere.  To the contrary on this forum I only see Able.

Jim, Agreed.

I am a bit displeased with a bee hive poisoner:, Now to that fella who poisoned the hives, I would like to take the remaining bees and put them in that fellas underwear.

It was nice of Fox News to add this to their News section. The more publicity about the importance of bees and the betterment there of, the better for all beekeepers and the public alike. In my opinion.

That's terrible, I hope they find a cause and its not poisoning. It looks a lot like IAPV.  With 20,000 hives I would think you may end up with some health issues.  I probably would have identified the cause before moving the bees, seems like he could be potentially spreading a virus.
