Beehives vandalized at Ashton playing fields, reports Tameside Correspondent.

Volunteers are heartbroken after vandals damaged beehives at King George V Playing Fields in Ashton, jeopardizing the local honey bee colonies. The incident occurred between 5:30 PM on September 5 and 8:30 AM on September 6, affecting an apiary managed by the Friends of King George V Playing Fields (FoKGVPF), who care for the bees and sell honey to fundraise through the Georgie Porgies café. Beekeeper Chris Place and the volunteer team were dismayed to find the destruction after dedicating many hours to the bees.
