SF Bee Cause director and beekeeper extraordinaire Karen Peteros talked to the media last afternoon, as a group of reporters clustered around the sad sight of thousands of dead bees (https://www.sfbg.com/politics/2010/07/22/thousands-bees-murdered-hayes-valley-farm) in and around two of three hives that were attacked by an unknown person who sprayed insecticide into their entrances, probably on Tuesday night.Read more » (https://www.sfbayguardian.com/politics/2010/07/22/looking-silver-lining-sf-bee-hate-crime)
