No beekeeper would deliberately smash hives. They overturned while deputies were wrestling with her.
> “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.
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.
