Would be interesting if you had an alarm that released the "alarm pheromone" that makes honey bees angry.

Sounds like a booby trap, which would carry some nasty liability here in the states.

That is true, but they would have to prove that the bees were agitated because of the pheromone and not because they were being stolen/handled incorrectly. All while admitting they committed a crime of course.
