20 million travellers homeless after crash!

Utah highway shut after 20m bees escape from lorry

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15439754

A highway in the US state of Utah was temporary closed after a lorry carrying at least 20m bees overturned, freeing the insects.
The bees were being transported to California, ready to pollinate an almond crop next spring.
Interstate 15 was closed down for several hours while local beekeepers worked overnight to recapture the bees.
The trip was among the last of 160 truckloads of bees being sent south from Adee Honey Farms in South Dakota.

That place is really buzzing right now!

Bee Keeper #1: "Sure is quiet here today."
Bee Keeper #2: "Yes, a little TOO quiet, if you know what I mean."
Bee Keeper #1: "No, I'm afraid I don't."
Bee Keeper #2: "You see, bees usually make a lot of noise, NO NOISE, suggests no bees."
Bee Keeper #1: "Oh, I understand now. Oh look, there goes one."
Bee Keeper #2: "To the bee-mobile!"
Bee Keeper #1: "You mean your Chevy?"
Bee Keeper #2: "Yes."

Trucking company will get stung for the bill for this fiasco. There'll be a swarm of claims now. Hive always said it, transporting bees is dangerous.

Police are currently (honey)combing the area

CrazyRabbit

No wonder there are so few bees around any more. All captured for commercial purposes - stay free the 20 million - and , if you're reading this, you'll be very welcome in Ireland.

--Kaiser--

Two bee keepers are conversing. . . And one says, "How many bees have you got?"
And he says, "I've got 10,000 bees.”
He says, "How many hives have you got?"
He says, "I've got 20 hives".
“20 hives; 10,000 bees?"
He says, "Yeah.”

He says, “How may bees have you got?"
He says, “I've got a million bees.”
“A million bees?!"
He says, "Yeah."
He says, "How many hives have you got?"
"One."

"A million bees - one hive?”
He goes, "Yeah, f**k 'em; they're only bees.”

Some some say this is what is compounding the problem of colony collapse. You get a reduction of bee population because of a disease, then you introduce more bees from a different area spreading different diseases, then you get more colony collapse.

Its a pending problem at current rates of colony collapse, the humble bee whom we all depend will be wiped out in Britain anyway in 10 to 20 years.
