I think you'll find in Law, that to sue someone over a Bee sting is
virtually impossible. Firstly you have to prove that it was one of their
bees, and secondly case law has established that Bees are not owned, they
are just wild creatures to which you can offer a home.


Your first sentence may well be true. But, to the second, the standard
of proof is balance of probabilities and I refer you to Rylands versus
Fletcher - a classic case, known to all :-)
