5 million bees fall off a truck in the middle of the road!

Beekeepers were called out Wednesday morning after five million bees fell off a truck in Burlington, Ontario. Police also responded to the emergency.

According to CBC News, the boxes containing the bees slipped from the truck and fell onto the road.

According to the same source, the street was completely cleaned up following the incident, but local residents were nevertheless instructed to keep their windows closed and not to walk near the truck in question.

What’s more, the driver of the vehicle was charged with two Highway Code offences as a result of the incident!

A few thousand bees died when the boxes fell from the truck…

However, beekeepers hope that the bees that flew away will be returned to their respective boxes and returned to their hives.
