12 Million Bees Spilt On Highway

Xposed: Millions of Bees Spilled on Vegas Freeway

A truck carrying 12 million honeybees hit a wall on a highway ramp, dumping its load across the pavement shortly before the evening rush hour.

The truck was carrying 480 bee colonies, each with 25,000 insects, to California to pollinate the state's almond crop when it struck the wall Wednesday afternoon.

Authorities summoned beekeepers to help but decided capturing the bees alive would take too much time and money. Firefighters doused the insects with water to kill them.

Wasn't the mass die-off of honey bees the doom and gloom story a couple months ago? I wonder if that crossed the chief's mind before he decided to wipe them out.
