Massive Bee Escape in Washington State After Truck Rollover
In a remarkable incident in Whatcom County, Washington, 250 million honeybees escaped after a semi-truck carrying them overturned. The crash led to significant chaos, prompting over two dozen local beekeepers to assist in containing the millions of bees that were unleashed near the U.S.-Canadian border. Authorities quickly closed Weidkamp Road to ensure public safety while volunteer beekeepers worked to rescue the spilled hives. Residents have been warned to remain alert due to the swarm of bees in the area.
