The worst story I ever heard was from a beekeeper who took a few semiloads
to pollinate seed alfalfa in Nevada.(They have a bad rep for killing
bees)Anyway,one grower hired a plane to spray the blooming alfalfa and
wiped out the bees.Then he turned around and sued the beekeeper for breach
of contract(lack of pollination)!
