The maximum potential sentence available for this crime is 12 mths custodial and/or £40K fine.
Dylan Boyle got a £400 fine because apparently he'd behaved himself for 6 mths since conviction.
That'll learn him.

Success – an important win for nature! 🐝
Today, the UK Government made the only sensible choice - listening to the science and upholding the ban on neonicotinoids.
This pesticide doesn’t belong in our countryside. Farmers now need support to adopt nature-friendly alternatives.

Just 1 teaspoon of neonicotinoids can kill 1.25 BILLION bees.
Yesterday, over 1 million voices told the UK Government: stop allowing banned pesticides in our countryside.
DEFRA, it’s time to end ‘emergency’ use.
