Two weeks ago my neighbours had a bonfire that started at noon and lasted four hours and totally enveloped my last colony that previously when I inspected , were thriving and warm through the crown board (clear poly carbonate so I can see them without disturbance.)
checked afterwards and obviously distressed!
checked yesterday and very few bees and not feeding on the spring sugar feed and crown board cold.
totally p****d off as lost a colony overwinter so now bee less and considering packing it up.
Do I have any rights to recompense ?
How to go about it if I do.?
Is It worth the hassle with such ignorants?
I do have the BBKA insurance but would they cover this?
very depressed!
