Millions of bees are swarming Interstate 5 in Lynnwood after a semi truck carrying a load of honeybee hives tipped over and crashed as it came off the I-405 interchange in Lynnwood. The truck had just merged onto Interstate 5 around 3:30 a.m. Friday when it tipped on its side, dumping its load of 448 hives, Washington State Patrol Trooper Travis Shearer said. About 13.7 million bees were unleashed in the crash.

I think sometimes the females can latch onto another hive. If not they will die. Not a lot of hope for the males I don't think.

May we have a good pollination season this year. The rest of the bees will go to the manager's computer:

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

See what happens when you buzz down the freeway?

Sad that they ended up killing most of them (10 million plus). Not sure I believe the driver when he claimed his front tire blew. Yeah, taking the ramp too fast will do that too.

Colony tipped over syndrome. Beats dead jellyfish on the beach. About the same number.
