Maggie Gyllenhaal accidentally killed her husband Peter Sarsgaard's beloved bees after he left her in charge of his hives.
The 55-year-old actor is a keen beekeeper and has hives at the family's home in Brooklyn, New York as well as at their rural retreat in Vermont, but The Bride! director Maggie has admitted they were struck by disaster when Peter left his wife in charge of his precious insects when he went away to Europe for an acting job.
