well....i don't see this as much differant from a non-beekeeping neighbor wanting damages for being stung...or charging you for "rent" on their swimming pool if your bees are keeping them from enjoying it.

i think this goes along with the territory of being a beekeeper.  the best "solution" (imho) is for you to help this beekeeper with the shb problem....as it is your problem too.

be thankful is shb, and not afb.
