In the State of Mexico, stealing a beehive filled with honey could lead to a prison sentence of up to 12 years if a new initiative by Morena legislator María José Pérez Domínguez is approved. She plans to propose specific penalties for beehive theft, citing a legal gap that makes it difficult for beekeepers to report such crimes. During a guided visit by 40 seniors from Santa Catarina del Monte to the state Congress, she announced that her proposal will be introduced in the upcoming legislative session starting September 5.
