STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A Swedish beekeeper has taken his neighbor to court for killing his swarm, demanding that he pay compensation, Sweden's TT news agency reported yesterday.
The bees left their hive in the rural village of Vittaryd and flew into the neighbor's garden. The neighbor, fearful of being stung, doused the unwanted guests with a garden hose. The shock of the cold water killed the bees, the news agency said.
