250 Million Bees Escape Overturned Truck: Pollination Crisis and Environmental Concerns
Approximately 250 million bees escaped when a truck carrying 70,000 pounds of honey bee hives overturned near the US-Canada border. Authorities closed the crash site and enlisted master beekeepers to assist in recovering the bees. The primary objective is to save as many bees as possible from the massive swarm. Until the rescue operation is complete, the public is urged to avoid the area due to the risk of stings.
