Off topic - exciting bee story. May 9, 1999 Truck With Millions of Bees Crashes Filed at 6:55 p.m. EDT By The Associated Press FALMOUTH, Maine (AP) -- A truck carrying millions of bees overturned on a highway ramp Sunday, leaving its cargo buzzing around the wreckage and closing down the roadway for nearly eight hours. ''There was one big swarm of bees over the truck, like a big black cloud,'' said Falmouth Patrolman Edward Roberge. State police said the flatbed tractor trailer turned over on its side around 10 a.m. while heading north along a connection between the Maine Turnpike and Interstate 295 in this southern Maine town. Equipment was brought to the site around mid-day to lift the truck upright. The truck was carrying between 400 and 450 hives, each home to between 40,000 and 45,000 bees, according to Falmouth Fire Chief James Robertson. He estimated there were about 20 million bees on the truck. About five firefighters were stung, one as many as five times, but none were seriously hurt, Robertson said. Firefighters received tips from beekeepers who heard about the crash. They sprayed the dumped hives with water to calm the bees as they loaded the hives onto another truck in the late afternoon. ''The bees think it's raining and they won't leave the hives,'' Roberston said. Copyright 1999 The New York Times Company
