Beekeeper murdered for his honey.

From Canoe.ca:

BRISBANE, Australia - An Australian man was convicted Wednesday of murdering a fellow beekeeper so he could steal US$27,880 worth of honey and has been sentenced to life in prison.

A jury with the Brisbane Supreme Court took less than a day to convict Donald Alcock, 34, of the 2007 murder of beekeeper Anthony Ross Knight in Woodford, a rural town in Queensland state.

Prosecutors told the court that Alcock was in desperate financial trouble in May 2007 when he entered the 41-year-old Knight's home, shot him in the back while he was sleeping and stole tubs of his honey to sell.

The jury was told that Alcock loaded the largest tubs of honey onto his truck and drove them to a honey distributor but was pinned under a 1,400 kilogram tub while unloading the shipment and had to be taken to the hospital.
