Load
of bees
released
after truck
crash
SCIO, Ore. (AP) —
Authorities say a large cloud
of bees was released into the
air after a load of beehives
tipped over in a vehicle crash
in Linn County.
The Albany Democrat-
Herald reports Linn County
Sheriff’s deputies responded
to a single-vehicle crash
involving a flatbed truck
carrying a load of beehives
Friday morning.
Deputies say some of the
truck’s wheels sheared at the
lug nuts and separated from
the vehicle, disabling it in the
middle of the road.
Officials say one of the
beehive loads tipped over
while a forklift operator was
moving it, sending bees into
the air.
Authorities say no injuries
were reported.
Workers with Olsen Honey
Farms responded and were
able to collect some of the
bees and secure the hives.
