> Here in the US lets say I keep dangerous bees and someone gets killed because of my bees. Show proof I knew and boom you win.
You make it seem like an open and shut case. Personal injury laws typically require proof of negligence or deliberate intent to harm. Whether your bees are "dangerous bees" asks even more questions. Bees are not inherently dangerous and even genetically African bees can be kept in hives without incidents. It depends on circumstances as to whether a given hive or apiary constitutes a nuisance. Here is an example of a law regarding bees:
6 An apiarist or broker who is registered under RCW 15.60.021,
7 and who operates his or her apiary or apiaries in a reasonable manner
8 and in conformance with the department's apiary best management
9 practices rules, is immune from civil liability for any personal injury
10 or property damage that occurs in connection with the keeping and
11 maintaining of bees, bee equipment, queen breeding equipment, apiaries,
12 and appliances. The limitation on civil liability under this section
13 does not apply to acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or
14 willful or wanton misconduct.
