A hive of honey bees on display at the beekeeping convention in Vermont in 2014
Police have arrested two boys for allegedly vandalising a honey business in the USA state of Iowa that killed half a million bees in late December. All of the bees - at least half a million - died in the snow.
The boys, ages 12 and 13, were charged with three felony offences after allegedly damaging 50 beehives at Wild Hill Honey farm in Sioux City. The damage left by the two boys led to the death of the bees. The business wasn't insured; bee operations usually can't get insurance, according to Engelhardt.
Wild Hill Honey's owners said they had caused $60,000 (£43,400) of damage and called the crime "completely senseless".
"It's huge, right? It demonstrates the professionalism and determination of the Sioux City Police Department and we couldn't be happier", he told the publication. The owner added that it didn't look like anything was taken and that everything was just destroyed or vandalized. News of the incident shocked the community.
The boys, ages 12 and 13, are facing felony charges following the December 28, 2017, incident which left 500,000 bees dead, according to Sioux City Police Department. However, people have donated tens of thousands of dollars, and owners Justin and Tori Englehardt say they will rebuild their business. At the time, they estimated $50,000 - $60,000 worth of damage and said that insurers didn't offer any beehive coverage, so it would be hard to financially rebuild the business.

Google Clips likely launching soon as it passes through FCC
Google is expected to roll out the device with a $249 this January as it recently hit the FCC. However, Clips doesn't capture any sound, and instead focuses on photos and short videos.
The couple started the honey farm six years ago and manufacture and sell the honey.
As insurers do not cover damages to beehives, it seemed that the incident would wipe out the farm's livelihood.
The Engelhardts had started their honey business after Justin, who worked full-time as a roofer, heard a radio interview with animal behaviorist.
The owners thanked donors in a post on a GoFundMe page.
