Truck transporting 1 million bees crashes in Florida

A traffic accident created a major buzz in Florida, where one million bees were unleashed on a highway when a tractor-trailer slammed into a truck hauling the insects early Tuesday.

The un-bee-lievable incident unfolded around 3:15 a.m. on US Highway 301 at the entrance ramp to I-10 East in Duval County.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a tractor-trailer operated by a 26-year-old driver crashed into the truck hauling stacks of beehives that were home to a million bees, the station ClickOrlando reported.

The impact sent clouds of insects swarming the highway, but officials said the bees were not aggressive.

“There are thousands of bees in the area after the collision,” troopers said in an FHP crash report.

A beekeeper was called in to round up the winged escapees.

No injuries have been reported.

The beehive company later removed the hives that were still intact and took them away in another truck, but the damaged ones were left at the scene, News4Jax reported.

Drivers were asked to avoid the area of the collision as a precaution.

The cause of the crash is under inve-sting-ation.
