Fun fact: In German civil law we have four sections on bees: beekeepers got special rights to enter others' properties in order to catch flown-out hives, regulating who owns a new hive that formed by merging two hives of different owners, and so on.
We have that in Italy as well: there is a section of the civil code that states your right to chase your domesticated animals, but an other one that singles out bees explicitly.
Curiously, the section about bees comes before the generic one.
