I read this, from the record of "The Sixteenth Annual Convention of the North American Bee-Keepers," held in 1885 in Detroit
> An apiarist in Anaheim, Calif, had the fence around his apiary torn down, all his bees killed by sulphur, the hives piled up under a valuable pepper-tree and consumed by fire. Another apiarist was threatened with hanging—all because some fruit growers had moved into the neighborhood after his apiary had been established several years, and they wanted to compel him to move away with his bees.
(note: this conflict was mainly between grape growers and beekeepers, as they believed that bees attack the ripe fruit)
