Every day i see my neighbors bees flying around my garden steeling the pollen or nectar from the flowers. Then the bees go back to my neigbor and create honey. My neighbor then harvests the honey and sells it for profit at farmers markets. I have never received so much as a jar of honey as compensation and every day my neighbor’s bees trespass and steal my flowers. I was stung once when I was a child so I know how dangerous bees can be.

The way i see it, this is the equivalent to a persons dog coming into my yard to steal balls or tools then gives it back to his owner to sell for profit.

Do I have a legal ground to sue? What type of things should I begin documenting in order to prepare for a legal battle, small claims or otherwise. What would be a fair settlement amount if my neighbor doesnt want to take it to court?

Thank you for your help.
