100 hives were stored at
\nMike Hickenbottoms place
\nBelonging to Alfonzo Perez
\nIt was their winter base<\/p>\n
Leased to do the pollination
\nOf various Almond trees
\nBut on a Saturday morning
\nWere vandalised and the bees<\/p>\n
Around 200,000 were murdered
\nAt a stroke
\nWhen deisel fuel was poured on them
\nAnd clearly thats no joke<\/p>\n
The Sheriff now at Monterey
\nIs investigating he
\nKnows the neighbour
\nWas displeased that the hives
\nHad to be<\/p>\n
So close to his family home
\nWhere his children dare not play
\nFor fear of being stung by bees
\nThats what Mike did say<\/p>\n
Russian Bees are friendlier
\nAnd varroa it appears
\nDo not affect the Russian Bees
\nAs much and so the fears<\/p>\n
That the neighbours children would be stung
\nApparently isnt so
\nAnd the fact is Alfonzo Perez
\nIs in trouble as we know<\/p>\n
The loss amounts to \u00a350,000 dollars
\nWhich is huge
\nAnd no one really understands the extent
\nOf subterfuge<\/p>\n
What we can say is its terrible
\nTo slaughter all these Bees
\nAnd it might be down to ignorance
\nAnd the loss to of the fees<\/p>\n
Paid for leasing out his Bees
\nTogether with the Bees
\nIs terrible for the keeper
\nAnd ofcourse the almond trees<\/p>\n
Whoever carried out this crime
\nLets hope they are soon caught
\nAnd go fund me has been set up
\nTo try now to support<\/p>\n
