“I encountered a contractor with a backhoe knocking down trees 50 feet inside my property line,” he said. “When I asked about the missing bees, the contractor said they had been moved by the landowner.”

Screw the bees. They’re fucking with his trees. Give me some tree law!

Its no joke. The bee's might be a minor fine but tree law is real and its extremely costly.

They're going after him for lost wages so it'll be $50-100k just for that. Hiring a lawyer was smart.
