    Rebecca Woods insisted she only released her truckload of hives to allow the bees to enjoy the “lovely, flowering landscape” near the home of an elderly friend and cancer patient.

    She could have done 10 times worse and I would never have voted to convict, had I been on the jury.

      I really want to watch the prosecution try to claim she has the power to command bees.

    The court heard that Woods was told during the encounter that some deputies were allergic to bees, and that she replied: “Oh, you’re allergic? Good!”

    Balls of steel.

    Additionally, about a thousand of Woods’s bees died during the encounter, many of them crushed when several hives toppled as she wrestled with deputies trying to arrest her, and others because female honeybees die after delivering their sting.

    It’s a good thing this was a Massachusetts suburb or several more bees may have been shot at in the kerfuffle. Those bees are half-black, after all.

        I really kinda wanna see Seth Rogan as a cop yelling 'Stop Resisting!" as he shoots blindly at a swarm of bees.

        Jonah Hill or Will Farrell could do, too, I guess…it has a 21 Jump Street or The Other Guys kinda feel to it…but it needs that Seth Rogan guttural yell.
