Fancy some honey perhaps?
A bear has been found guilty by a court of stealing honey from a beekeeper.
The animal was convicted of theft by the court in Bitola, in Macedonia, following a year-long case.
However, he was excused from attending court.
The case came after a beekeeper reported the bear for stealing his honey.
He told the court he had to protect his hives by playing thumping folk music.
Beekeeper Zoran Kiseloski told the court: "I tried to distract the bear with lights and music because I heard bears are afraid of that."
He said he bought a generator, lit up the area and played songs by the Serbian turbo-folk star Ceca.
The court heard the bear stayed away for a few weeks but returned when the generator ran out of power and the music stopped.
Mr Kiseloski added: "It attacked the beehives again."
The court found the bear guilty but since it had no owner and is a protected species it ordered the state to pay for the 140,000 denars (£1,700) damage it caused to the hives
There is no information on the bear's whereabouts.
