Authorities raced to capture five million bees released yesterday after a truck carrying several crates of hives fell onto a roadway in Ontario, Canada, Halton Regional Police Constable Ryan Anderson told CNN.
Halton Regional Police received a call shortly after 6 a.m. Wednesday, after the straps attached to the crates of beehives became loose and created a spill, releasing the millions of bees onto the roadway in Burlington, Anderson told CNN by phone. After police shared a social media post warning residents and vehicles to stay clear of the area, about six or seven local beekeepers volunteered to help get the bees back to safety, Anderson said.
Police say the initial beekeeper was stung repeatedly, but there were no serious injuries following the swarm of bees in the area. “The initial beekeeper on scene was stung quite a few times,” Anderson said. Police could not provide further details about why and where the bees were being transported, but Anderson said it is not uncommon for bees to be transported to help farmers with pollination.
