Abstract

Beekeeping has accompanied humans since Antiquity. Hives and bee products were coveted goods. Their modes of operation allowed them to be the subject of theft. It is delinquency of a mostly neighborly nature. Since ancient times these crimes were severely punished, however, over the centuries, this severity was progressively moderated.
