True, but then also correctly state why such incidents
happened most times:

1. bulldozer going over the area within xx feet of colony.
2. water pressure spraying of bees to knock down and try to
kill.
3. pesticide pump spraying of bees to try to kill.

Usually someone trying to kill the poor bees, because they
could not afford to pay the local exterminators to remove
them from premises. and few beekeepers left due to politics
within city,town, municipality areas for being allowed to
keep bees anyways, be it formal zoning, or just neighbors
making life unbearable (this is the hard part). Life can be
hard when perception is hard. Made our area go from 125
local beekeepers in S. Arizona to about 9 today.....so can
you expect same in same span of years?
