A criminal investigation is underway in Texas after half a million bees were killed. Dozens of hives were set on fire, and some were even dumped into a nearby retention pond.

Shocked beekeepers in Brazoria County have offered a reward to help find those responsible, and they asked locals to keep an eye out for possible suspects nursing any tell-tale bee stings.
