In Unna-Massen, a fire on Thursday evening destroyed 22 bee colonies at a local apiary. The blaze, which erupted for unknown reasons on Massener Bahnhofstraße, prompted a response from the fire department, who initially believed it was a shed fire.
Upon arrival, firefighters discovered that the flames were consuming beehives, and despite their efforts lasting over an hour, they were unable to save the colonies. The beekeeper reported that each of the 22 hives housed approximately 44,000 bees, and he suspected that the bees could not escape in time. The garden where the hives were located belonged to a neighbor.
