Cap. 16 Art. 562Rights of owners of swarms of bees.

(1) The owner of a swarm of bees has the right to pursue them over the tenement of any other person, subject to his obligation of making good any damage caused to such tenement.

(2) Where the owner has not pursued the bees within ten days to be reckoned from the day on which he became aware of the tenement on which they had settled, or has discontinued the pursuit for ten days, the possessor of such tenement shall be entitled to take and retain them.

(3) The provisions of this article shall also apply to the owner of domesticated animals; but such animals shall become the property of the person who has taken and retained them, unless they are claimed within thirty days to be reckoned from the day on which the owner has had knowledge of the place in which such animals were to be found.
