Hello,

I am seeking a story 'in its entirety' printed previously including 
credits,  about the Swiss beekeeper who smuggled 200 pounds of Italian 
honey across the border into Switzerland. 

As the story goes, he had an Italian beekeeper place his honey near the 
border. The Swiss beekeeper took his own beehives and set them about 1,000 
yards away. The bees went straight for the available honey and took it 
back across the border to their hive.

The story appears in these publications:

1919 - Bee World page 44
1924 - Scottish Beekeeper Page 12 
1924 - Science Digest Page 10

A Scan, PDF, or typed.

========

Also seeking:
According to the book by Zakaria Erzinclioglu,  
’Maggots, Murder, and Men; Memories and Reflections of a Forensic 
Entomologist.  The North Vietnamese used bees as weapons, calculating that 
it would take 100 bee stings to kill an American soldier. 

I am seeking any written records related to the above. 

Thanks in advance!
