The six hives installed for several years in the cemetery of Gennevilliers (Hauts-de-Seine) were knowingly damaged this Friday morning.
Three of them belong to the PCF mayor of the town, Patrice Leclerc.
The other three are also the property of residents of the city, specifies

Alerted in the middle of the day, the chosen one went there to see the damage, and try to repair some of the damage.
He said he filed a pre-complaint.
No theft was observed.
Patrice Leclerc denounced the harm done to some 300,000 bees affected by the vandalism.
An âirresponsible actâ
He also regretted on Twitter, the same day, an "irresponsible act (which) endangers people who want to gather in the Muslim square near the apiary" because of the aggressiveness of the insects attacked.
The city councilor relies on the analysis of CCTV images to identify the perpetrators of what he describes as a premeditated action.
