Bees Escape Fatal Crash: Truck Was Carrying Up To 17 Million Bees

LAKEVILLE, Minn. - Rescue crews were using fire hoses to douse an angry swarm of bees after a fatal crash that involved a semitrailer carrying about 17 million of the insects.

Authorities say a truck hauling 7,000 bee hives was involved in the four-vehicle crash Monday on Interstate

Are the bees okay? D:

my mind immediately lept to thinking of all of the millions of tiny stretchers required for the bees at this accident site.

Aww! :D

But seriously.....are bees regularly transported in this method and in such huge numbers??

Big damn farms need their crops pollinated. That's why Colony Collapse Syndrome is such a frightening prospect.

Agreed, as someone who is deadly allergic to bee and wasp venom I would have been in my car having a panic attack if anywhere near that.

LOL

I wonder if anyone has ever asked TC about the original incident, and if he realizes what a widespread meme it became? :)

The inevitable GIR quote: "Awww, my bees!"

I hope they didn't harm too many. Bees aren't having such a good time of it lately without the added help :(
