LAKE TWP., Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – A 15-year-old boy from the Uniontown area of Lake Township faces juvenile charges in connection with that beehive-burning incident behind a San Marino Avenue NW two weeks ago.

He claims he was curious about what was there and only lit a match because it was getting dark.
The incident got plenty of attention on social media.
The homeowners say hundreds of bees were lost in the incident.
