As long as it's not the military of some country luring all the world's bees to their underground base as an attempt to mutate them into killer bees that can spread diseases and kill billions in another country when released there. <_<

there's no money in dead people, neither in healthy ones. The money is in the middle. Let's use mutant bees to make half of humanity ill so they need our expensive medicine  :thumbsup:

Isn't there a law that prohibits giving alcohol to deers or something like that? ^^

Lol, that is weird. Although in the future I bet there will be laws forbidding the killing of bees.

Killing bees is illegal in Germany, and can incur a fine of up to 50,000 EUR depending on the circumstances ;)
Also this law about following a tribe of bees is really not that weird. If you're a beekeeper, you need to be able to follow and reclaim your tribe when it decides to swarm, as they regularly do in late spring.

Also that time in 1894 when Indiana tried to pass into law an obviously incorrect way to square the circle with π = 3.2, among others. The Senate just laughed it off and indefinitely postponed it. People just turn crazy stuff into laws sometimes.
Nah, I heard that story a little bit different. Actually, that person did even try to make money from it, with the Indiana education system being the only ones who are allowed to use his 'innovative' solution for free. And the senate didn't really know anything about this law, but they were luckily a mathematician happened to be inside the building, and got curious and then telled them what c they were about to sign :P

In Canada, it's illegal to remove your bandages in public and if you sleep at Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, the staff must feed your horse.

In Tennessee, where I live, it is illegal to share your Netflix password.
It is also illegal to connect to wifi without explicit permission.

TIL that liquor stores must remain closed on Sundays in some American states. We are in 2017 and this makes Quebec's laws about business hours look modern.

Also, regarding business hour restrictions, here are some wacky laws from Quebec (although I think some Sunday restrictions are fine, because this allows employees that work in retail to continue having a life outside their job):

-In Quebec, only supermarkets which sells 51% of food items, including liquor stores, as well as convenience stores, pharmacies, book/music/movie/video game stores, bars and restaurants are allowed to remain open after 5 PM on Saturdays and Sundays and after 9 PM from Monday to Friday.  Stores located in specifically designed touristic neighborhoods (such as Vieux-Québec) are exempt from this law and can open 24/7 if they want to.
-Supermarkets that are allowed to remain open outside business hours cannot use more than 4 workers at a time between 8 PM and 8 AM on weekends and between 9 PM and 8 AM on week days. This used to be 5 PM to 8 AM on weekends, which caused ridiculous lineups at grocery checkouts.
