Well, I was stung 2x as a kid. Last time I stepped onto a bee on the lawn at evening when I was 7/8. Next morning my foot could not fit my fathers sandals any more...
Just lucky that while I am highly allergic it's a LOCAL allergic reaction.
My Dad lives out in a rural neighborhood and his closest neighbor is maybe a 1/4 mile away. He put up a water feature in his back yard and started noticing that there were always bees visiting it. He mentioned it to his neighbor more just wondering if they'd noticed more bees and the guy was like "oh those are my bees, I keep bees . They're just drinking, I hope you didn't mind." My Dad was like nah, whatever. Now that neighbor always makes sure my dad has a jar of fresh honey. He'll bring him over honey comb every once in awhile.
Absolutely love that. My grandparents were farmers and contacted a local bee club to have some hives put on the farm near the garden. They knew from the jump how important they were, even set out big pans of water in the summer to keep them hydrated. As a kid I didn't get it, as an adult I really appreciate the whole thing top to bottom.
Fun fact about bee law: where I live, we can follow a swarming hive on private property (within reason).The hive is considered the beekeepers property, and found swarms are to be reported to local bee keepers to collect.
If you don't know who's swarm it is, the property owner has some right to it (but they would have to keep bees to collect it, so seldom takes effect).
Because it is not always the younger queen that swarms, a swarm may contain a pure bred honey queen of an expensive lineage, so besides the like 30.000 bees in the swarm, there is the value of their queen to consider.
Hard yes. My dad got tricked out of a swarm a couple times, and once he helped an old guy to rescue an ownerless swarm from his property (usually you get to keep it then) only for the old geezer to reveal that he himself keeps bees and just wanted someone else to do the dirty work.
As long as you keep sight of your swarm, it is yours, so keeping line of sight is important. Best solution is however to not even let them swarm in the first place - my dad can 'smell' that, they get giddy when they are healthy and need room in summer, and when the weather is right, so by monitoring temperature and moisture around their stand you can just separate them early and they will form two separate hives on their own.
My grandmas neighbours were beekeepers. One of their cats died of old age and the old lady was really sad. We had kittens so when they were old enough, little me picked a little cutie and offered it to her. She was in tears.
From that point on I got jars of honey and honeycombs and beeswax candles every single time we visited my grandma and sometimes she'd just send some via my dad giving kitten updates. The kitty lived a very happy life up to about 25 years.
Edit; phone hates me
I wish my neighbor kept bees! I have strawberries, melons, squashes, and tomatoes that all require or benefit from the pollination of bees in order to fruit.
You absolutely can sue, but you need to find lawyer bee willing to take the case, and they'd be suing the individual worker bees in a tiny little bee courtroom. But honestly most judge bees would only award small amount of pollen back and it would have to go directly to the flowers. But seeing all the bees in their tiny little suits almost makes it worth it.
You can keep a gull as a pet, but you don't want to live with a seabird, okay, 'cause the noise level alone on those things...have you ever heard a gull up close? It's going to blast your eardrums out, dude.
(Quoting a show, I’m not actually versed in bird law. This is not legal advice)
Well the words “Pepper Place Market” tells me it’s from around where I grew up in central Alabama, where I’ll be the first to admit has some… characters… My bet is on somewhere in the Trussville/Mountain Brook area
Not like I’m pinpointing an exact address, just giving a general frame of reference. Besides, not like it’s hard to google “Pepper Place Market” if someone wanted to know where this was
It’s *probably* satire, but I have a neighbor who blames *every dog bark in the fucking neighborhood* on my dog specifically so like… this is not implausible for a Nextdoor post.
It’s true and stupid, but it’s for their own good: https://law.stanford.edu/2022/10/28/a-california-court-decision-bees-are-fish-shines-new-light-on-the-biodiversity-crisis/#:~:text=Blogs%2FLegal%20Aggregate-,A%20California%20Court%20Decision—Bees%20Are%20Fish—Shines%20New,Light%20On%20The%20Biodiversity%20Crisis&text=In%20September%2C%20the%20California%20Supreme,under%20California's%20endangered%20species%20law.
Honestly as they tried to argue it it really doesn't make much sense, but like, I'd understand their case if they had a phobia for bees and didn't like having so many so close
Yeah, knowing where the hive is. Wild bees building a nest in a tree 20 ft. from your property really isn't all that different from your neighbor having a beehive 20ft. from your property in their yard. Only real difference is the quality of life for the bees
I mean, I'd think that having a beekeeper neighbor would result in considerably more bees than just the ocassional wild bee. And if there was a wild beehive in a tree close enough to me for many bees to get to my property I wouldn't be happy either.
I guess that's true lol. I'm just saying that the chances of you getting bees in your lawn are going to increase considerably if you have a beekeeper as a neighbor. Or at least the frequency in which they come
But like yeah if it wasn't painfully obvious, I don't live in a suburb or own a lawn to put flowers and count bees in
Obviously this guy has never read a book. He has no idea how pollination works. He should be THANKING his neighbor for having bees handy. Sadly, depending on what retarded part of the Planet Florida they live in, they could have a case.
"stealing the pollen or nectar from my flowers" Jesus !
You’re gonna have to follow the bee from the hive and then record every location it flies to until it arrives on your property… take that footage to the police. I guarantee they will LAUGH YOUR STUPID ASS out of the police station…and have a nice day.
To be fair, I’ve seen some whack Karen shit on Nextdoor back when I lived in Homewood. I could see an entitled boomer posting this since Pepper Place is in B’ham
Bee law is/was a real area of law. I am sure there is a lot "bee law" nowadays as well, but in ancient Rome, bee law was a very hot topic. Bees did not fit neatly into farm animal or wild animal category so specific laws had to be made to make people whole when they get stung by an army of bees or if your neighbor entices your bees onto their property to make honey for them.
You can do whatever you want, Xer, but will the court give a crap?
That's for a judge, someone more discerning than your parents, coming about to judge the merits of your complaint.
You sure about this, sweety?
Fuck, my wife would LOVE to have a bee keeper nearby. Some people actually PAY to have people bring their hives their property.
Instead we just have neighbors spraying gods knows what and wiping out all the pollinators so much that my wife is outside getting frisky with all the flowers and a q-tip.
I mean, it’s pretty stupid, but if I were the beekeeper, I would probably give neighbors the occasional free jar just because most people don’t really like having a lot of bees around their yard. potentially a substantial increase in the probability of me getting stung, for your little hobby/side hustle? Good thing nobody is allergic.
So, in this logic if I have a garden I would owe you free food because, the pollen may have come from your yard, and because I'm increasing biodiversity and increasing the sability of the biosphere I owe you something...
Wait so i owe you, because I bought bees, grew them, kept the queen safe kept the hornets away and promoted flower growth.. I owe you because your worried a creature that only stings as a last resort and then dies..
So I'm confused, why do I owe you anything? Just because you don't lie bees, but the lack of bees are why the eco system is failing... im over here doing what the EPA says and your mad and want money...
I didn’t say anybody owed anyone anything. only that if it were me, i would consider a jar or two a year for the neighbors to be a nice gesture. I am well aware of bees’ value to the ecosystem at large, but I hate when I’m sitting outside with a glass of lemonade and they keep buzzing around, trying to get a taste. I have been stung a couple times, and if the number of bees in my vicinity went up by 20 or 100 fold due to human intervention it would make me a bit nervous to enjoy being out in my own yard… I kept chickens for a while, who are loud and smelly creatures. I knew that these two aspects of otherwise good and beneficial animals were an inconvenience to my neighbors. Partly because of that, but mostly because of just wanting to help keep the people close to me happy, I was more than willing to part with some eggs for them whenever I had extra. not everyone is out to get you, most people just want to get along… And I would say it’s extremely common for people who have large vegetable gardens to share with their neighbors!
Here's a video of an actual lawyer reacting to this post and breaking down the legal theory for all you nerds out there.
https://youtu.be/3kfGIz3u0RA?si=pSGrAH8J0mhJMqsL
When I was a child, a neighbor kept bees. He was kind of a big deal in the bee world. He wrote books about bees and had retired from studying bee diseases.
A neighbor started kicking up a fuss after living there for 10 years and not realizing he kept bees.
She got a visit from a lawyer from the Departmrnt of Agriculture to discuss her behavior and if she had trespassed in his yard.
Here I am now, in a different state, and the backyard beekeepers also have someone to call if a neighbor is an asshole about the bees.
Bees are important, and people are assholes.
I'm very pro bee even though I'm level epipen-carrying allergic to bees.
I suspect if they brought this up to their neighbor instead of immediately considering how they could make money off a lawsuit, the neighbor would be happy to lend some honey during harvest time.
Most famers at least put effort into having good relationships with their neighbors.
My son and I kept bees in our suburban backyard for a few years, and no one complained. But, we always made sure to give our neighbors a jar of honey at harvest time. It's just neighborly.
In some states, if you don't follow the regulations for keeping bees, your neighbors can sue, and the bees will be removed, not to mention fines. Those usually are how many feet away from any property lines, so much feet away from habitable buildings, and how much sqft of your land per box is allowed. If they're just flying and shit, they can't.
The thing that turns me off to the idea of home ownership most is not the ungodly price of even modest homes, but the fact that most homeowners (potential future neighbors) seem to be absolute psychopaths who fetishize their land ownership to the point of insanity.
So oddly enough he actually might have a case. If he could prove that the bees are using his flowers then there might be a possibility that he could get a percentage of the revenue. Not a large percentage but possibly 10-15 %
Bees are not obligated to acknowledge property boundaries. You have no case, unless there is a town ordinance against bee keeping in your area. Perhaps you never got a jar of honey because you are a shitty neighbor?
Yes but only if the beekeeper gets to charge you for your stealing his bees labor to pollinate your flowers. With back pay for the long period of uncompensated service.
If this is where I think it is, they're in central Alabama. That "average" that half of people are stupider than is pretty low thereabouts.
(Source: I used to live there.)
That wind is blowing across my property. How dare you capture that wind energy from me.
That rain water runoff on my property is filling the streams and rivers. How dare you use my runoff to power a dam or water your agriculture.
Depending on the amount produced, 1 jar would be 1000000000000% worth it to keep the peace.
Now, I would only offer this if they came to me first, and mentioned they had a problem, and if they go straight to lawsuit, they aren't getting squat. Bc there isn't a judge anywhere that would take it seriously.
“I was stung once when I was a child” has the same energy as the classic Monty python line “A moose once bit my sister”

Do bee keepers accidents take other keeper’s swarms? Is there bee beef over stealing swarms of bees?
Hard yes.

Well I don't hate you. Thanks for that sweet story 🩵
And like, what was your dad going to do if it weren't okay with him? Tell the bees to stop drinking water?
I wish my neighbor kept bees! I have strawberries, melons, squashes, and tomatoes that all require or benefit from the pollination of bees in order to fruit.
You absolutely can sue, but you need to find lawyer bee willing to take the case, and they'd be suing the individual worker bees in a tiny little bee courtroom.

Gotta hire some good lawbeeists
Bee movie: the sequel
See the thing about bee law in this country, it’s not governed by reason.
Not true. Bees are very orderly and big on rules. Hornets on the other hand, are a bunch of damned anarchists.
That's why if you get a box of hornets it's important to put an H on it, so you don't forget what you're dealing with.
Where are we with gulls?
Gullty as charged.

Where do you sit on the crow eggs in fight milk debate?
This Karen should actually be thanking the bees for ensuring her flowers grow next year. It's literally a free service and she wants to sue 🙄
No, you see, they're *stealing* the pollen.
And she wanted to use her pollen herself for uh... Umm... Anyway, it's **her** pollen!
She heard pollinators are essential and wants to know how to turn them into oil
She wants to extract their Element 710
Maybe she wants to license the pollen. Passive income. #girlboss
Mine. My pollen.
I don't think she understands much of how anything works, let alone the pollination
she is a Karen...
And I..... am....
...Iron Man \*snaps*
This guy really would get a fair shake in the courtroom. The legal system is a hive mind.
Yeah, I’d be like sure, I’m willing to pay for the pollen. But then I need to charge for pollination from the bees.
They can’t be fucking serious. Who would even bother taking this to court? What the hell???
Well the words “Pepper Place Market” tells me it’s from around where I grew up in central Alabama, where I’ll be the first to admit has some… characters… My bet is on somewhere in the Trussville/Mountain Brook area

Which makes capybaras bees, under papal law.

Honestly as they tried to argue it it really doesn't make much sense, but like, I'd understand their case if they had a phobia for bees and didn't like having so many so close
Then they can stop growing flowers? Because no one can guarantee that wild bees won't appear there too
There's a big freaking difference between the ocassional wild bee and having a full-on *beehive* next door
Yeah, knowing where the hive is. Wild bees building a nest in a tree 20 ft. from your property really isn't all that different from your neighbor having a beehive 20ft. from your property in their yard. Only real difference is the quality of life for the bees
I mean, I'd think that having a beekeeper neighbor would result in considerably more bees than just the ocassional wild bee. And if there was a wild beehive in a tree close enough to me for many bees to get to my property I wouldn't be happy either.
Again if you don't want bees don't have flowers. Because wild bees are everywhere 🤣
I guess that's true lol. I'm just saying that the chances of you getting bees in your lawn are going to increase considerably if you have a beekeeper as a neighbor.

This was the subject of a church investigation in the 16th century
(Heavy Satire)Is lightning this Karen on fire compensating enough? It saves on her heating bill.
Obviously this guy has never read a book. He has no idea how pollination works. He should be THANKING his neighbor for having bees handy. Sadly, depending on what retarded part of the Planet Florida they live in, they could have a case. "stealing the pollen or nectar from my flowers" Jesus !

*Beads?*
This m8 has 0 clue how many flowers are needed for a spoon of honey....
I can have honey , annoy my neighbour and their children will get stung . Sign me up .
What do they mean ”steal my pollen”? What are they going to use it for?
*For pollinating.*
How boring does your life need to be before you start thinking about shit like this? Not compensated? Really?
Oh God, I know where that place is. I think I might go buy some honey just to spite them. Bees stealing my pollen, almost as bad as that racist rock.
You’re gonna have to follow the bee from the hive and then record every location it flies to until it arrives on your property… take that footage to the police. I guarantee they will LAUGH YOUR STUPID ASS out of the police station…and have a nice day.
I saw a documentary where a bee sues the bee industry and wins, ray liotta even attended the courtroom for interrogation
So the beekeeper has their neighbors and their bees attempting to sue them?! This would make for an interesting movie.
Their user name of @bestofnextdoor seems a bit too ironic for it not to be satire.
They collect examples of the worst people on Next Door.
If a beekeeper moves next door to me I'm using this argument to get free honey.

To be fair, I’ve seen some whack Karen shit on Nextdoor back when I lived in Homewood. I could see an entitled boomer posting this since Pepper Place is in B’ham

I am pretty sure there was a video by Legal Eagle talking about this bee situation.
It's the video where I learned that bees are legally considered fish
STEALING THE POLLEN
Who's going to tell them?
OOP is nuts but the neighbor could have given away some honey to the nearest neighbors to compensate for the increase in bees flying around.
lol tf is wrong with people?
Bee law is/was a real area of law. I am sure there is a lot "bee law" nowadays as well, but in ancient Rome, bee law was a very hot topic.

Those bees are raping the flowers!!!!
They are polinating the plants which produce the oxygen this person is wasting. Get over it.
I saw a documentary once about this exact situation. I think Jerry Seinfeld was the narrator
And you *know* they fucked after
This fills me with rage. I wish the old Gods would awaken and smite “Best of Nextdoor” down!

Beekeepers generally don't take honey from a hive the first year because the hive doubles in the spring, and they need it to get through the winter.

In some states, if you don't follow the regulations for keeping bees, your neighbors can sue, and the bees will be removed, not to mention fines. Those usually are how many feet away from any property lines, so much feet away from habitable buildings, and how much sqft of your land per box is allowed. If they're just flying and shit, they can't.
Imagine not watching the "bee movie" documentary
Ngl I bet the OOP’s neighbor would happily offer a jar if they asked politely and were not being a dick.
This is almost the plot of The Bee Movie.
The thing that turns me off to the idea of home ownership most is not the ungodly price of even modest homes, but the fact that most homeowners (potential future neighbors) seem to be absolute psychopaths who fetishize their land ownership to the point of insanity.
Be ware of Jason ….
BEADS!?!
Real mystery what country this litigious litany is from.
Lol
Like...why not just ask the neighbor for some honey?
I can see the matching outfits this dude wears w his wife on vacation and I can hear his wife's haircut.
The beekeeper should sue the homeowner for unpaid pollination services.
I’ve herd of bird law. But bee law. Damn
There is no way this is real (not made in jest)
So oddly enough he actually might have a case. If he could prove that the bees are using his flowers then there might be a possibility that he could get a percentage of the revenue. Not a large percentage but possibly 10-15 %
Thats not how it works.
You would be surprised with how stupid sometimes actually works.
In this case: it won't
I was against them but then they said the thing about a jar of honey as compensation and now I have a new scam for if my neighbors keep bees
Call J.G Wentworth!
Their neighbour should charge them a pollination fee.
Bees are not obligated to acknowledge property boundaries. You have no case, unless there is a town ordinance against bee keeping in your area. Perhaps you never got a jar of honey because you are a shitty neighbor?
She could probably just ask for a jar of honey
This is Monsanto personified
I’d tell them to touch grass, but they’ve already been outside today, watching the bees steal their pollen 😂😂😂
Yes but only if the beekeeper gets to charge you for your stealing his bees labor to pollinate your flowers. With back pay for the long period of uncompensated service.
If this is where I think it is, they're in central Alabama. That "average" that half of people are stupider than is pretty low thereabouts. (Source: I used to live there.)
I see this post more than I see my parents
That wind is blowing across my property. How dare you capture that wind energy from me. That rain water runoff on my property is filling the streams and rivers. How dare you use my runoff to power a dam or water your agriculture.
Ask neighbour for a wholesome free jar a week , or month
Your sense of entitlement is showing.
Depending on the amount produced, 1 jar would be 1000000000000% worth it to keep the peace. Now, I would only offer this if they came to me first, and mentioned they had a problem, and if they go straight to lawsuit, they aren't getting squat. Bc there isn't a judge anywhere that would take it seriously.
Honey is not harvested every week or every month
Idk man , ffs , was just trying to make a goofy comment on a goofy post...
