"Bees are truly the most magnificent and efficient pollinators on any farm and it’s thanks to them that we all get fed. After an incredibly difficult winter for farming, where it is getting harder and harder to produce food, we only have utter contempt for the individuals who have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage." Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police on 101 quoting incident 1838 of 25/05/24 and crime ref CR/0190102/24.
