We got tired of the bears destroying our fence every season as they go for the apples. So, we built them a stile. Hopefully they will use it!

In early medieval Ireland, bees were so valuable that there were actual laws written just for them.

Known as the Bechbretha, or “bee judgments,” these laws date back to around the 7th and 8th centuries and covered everything from stolen hives to bee attacks and even “nectar theft” by neighboring swarms.

If someone claimed your bees were stealing flowers from their land, the law suggested dusting the bees with flour and following the white trail back to their hive.

Bees were legally treated like livestock because honey, wax, and mead were essential to daily life in medieval Ireland. In some cases, compensation for injuries or disputes was literally paid in beehives.

What makes it even more fascinating is that Irish records from over 1,000 years ago mention mass bee die-offs linked to famine and human suffering, showing people already understood how important pollinators were long before modern science confirmed it.
