Washington state officials swarmed to scene to find 70,000lbs of hives and bees abuzz in a sticky situation
Officials near the US border were abuzz after being relentlessly attacked on Friday morning by a swarm of fugitives: honeybees had escaped after a truck carrying hives overturned near the Canadian border. About 250 million honeybees flew free of the truck around 4am a few miles south of Canada.
The truck that was transporting around 70,000lbs of hives and honeybees rolled over on a road in north-western Washington state. Local sheriff deputies and bee experts swarmed to the scene, where they removed the box hives to help recover and rescue as many bees as possible. The driver of the truck was not injured.
Hours later, officials could not bee-lieve that the bees began to swarm and sting the deputies. Some sheriff deputies took refuge in their patrol cars to avoid the stinging swarm.
Will there be any tariffs on bees that illegally cross the border, or will we have to deport them to El Salvador?
Those swarms are violent and organized in a monarchy. Unacceptable!
UnBeelievable!
Demand that the US pay for the deportations.
Poor animals. Without a colony, they will quickly die.
The ones where the queens got to escape should be fine. The queens alone can restart a whole hive

Did they try a sting operation?
