Honeybees are disappearing, and scientists don’t exactly know why. Yet here’s where 20 million of them swarmed this week: on a highway ramp in Newark, Del.
A rig carrying 460 honeybee hives from Florida turned over at an Interstate 95 ramp on its way to Maine on Tuesday night. Police have cited driver Adolfo Guerra for unsafe transportation of cargo. He and his two passengers suffered 50 to 100 bee stings each and were taken by an ambulance to a nearby hospital. Others, including officers and passing motorists, were reportedly stung as well.
