You got a chuckle out of me for the novelty but that feeling faded quickly as you read that she smashes and overturns the hives she brought with her truck to aggravate the bees to swarm everyone.
> The incident also resulted in the deaths of thousands of bees.
...yeah, that's very unfortunate and the lack of compassion is quite sad. Hopefully there will be books to read about Entomology at the local jail!
No beekeeper would deliberately smash hives. They overturned while deputies were wrestling with her.
> Video shows Woods getting into a physical altercation with a deputy on the back of the trailer before breaking open the hive. She smashed the lid with her hand and flipped one of the hives off of the flatbed.
> “The bees came out, unleashed and swarming, angry and they started stinging everybody there,” said Sheriff Nick Cocchi in an interview with WCVB.
> When told that some deputies had bee allergies, Woods allegedly replied, “Oh, you’re allergic? Good.”
> The video shows Woods then put on a beekeeper’s suit. According to officials, she then carried a tower of hives to the home’s front entrance, attempting to agitate the bees further.
> She smashed the lid with her hand and flipped one of the hives off of the flatbed.
Well... you could argue that she didn't by looking at the video. There's a struggle on the bed of thr truck and it looks like one of the deputies and her fight over the hive and the lid comes off a bit despite it being strapped down by a center strap.
..a few seconds after the struggle, the hive is then tipped over.
The officer was attempting to prevent her from tipping over the hive. You can see that the hive was tipping towards the camera and the officer's hands were on the side closest preventing her from flipping it. The officer attempts to replace the lid too. She was shoving on the hive as hard as she could until it tipped over.
