    No. Once bees are endangered, the resulting ecological collapse will have made the rule of law obsolete.

    I have no idea how protection for endangered colony insects works, but it might make the most sense to just protect the hive and queen instead of every individual colony member.

    if you’re at a point where they’re stinging you you’re probably doing something that would be considered illegal already

      In the place I grew up in, that “illegal” thing would be going to a train station. Some beehive considered it theirs and would attack anyone going through.

      I remember being on one particular school trip as a kid, sitting down on a bench distracted, and a bee decided to go under my shirt and sting me in the back. I didn’t even notice it until it stung me, so yeah, no, bees can be assholes too. Though that probably counts for the “probably” exception.

    When bees become an endangered species, would it be illegal if one were to sting you?

    In this hypothetical system, bees would become akin to cops where it would be up to themselves to enforce rules, moral/ethics, and systems.
