Caller indicated that the neighbours across the road had complained about the bees getting into their pool earlier in the summer and suspected that the neighbour may have deliberately sprayed the hives. Inspector drove around looking for fields that might have been sprayed and for fields were bees might be foraging in large numbers. Could not find either. Only possible explanation was spraying of Endigo by helicopter.To be determined by Registrant
