A man in Greymouth, New Zealand, caused around $120,000 in losses for two Beekeepers after damaging and stealing their beehives. The man was angered by the bees taking pollen and nectar from his flowers and trees. The beekeepers had marked their hives to identify them, and the stolen components were later found at the man's property. He was charged with three counts of entering agricultural land without authority and intent to commit an imprisonable offense. The man denied the charges but was found guilty and sentenced to 12 months of supervision and ordered to pay $20,000 in reparation.
