Look, let me say right off the bat that I am glad the driver is OK, this wouldn’t be funny if he had died, but he didn’t, so…
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Priceless! “Nine million angry honey bees”, to use the cliche, would be a perfect band name. I must remember not to crash when I am hauling bees.
And you can’t even use insecticide on them. They’re a protected species because they produce a crop.
Yo! Talk about straight out of a nightmare! Imagine you’re a random passwerby, driving down the road when suddenly (and for no apparent reason) you’re car is surrounded as far as the eye can see by said “nine million angry honey bees”!!!
Damn, I don’t think I’d recover…
Wow. I loves me bumblies but that’s a few too many.
I hate bees! I am so creeped out right now. Poor guy.
Pshhhhh…I had a friend kick over a hive, and I was complety swarmed by bees. They were crawling up my legs and stinging every inch of my calves. I was stung over 25 times. My feet swelled up so much I couldn’t wear shoes for a week. And wasps attacked me. WASPS! I hate bees now. BTW, the friend that kicked the hive only got stung twice.
Thousands of docile, productive honeybees have their hives turned upside-down, and you wonder why they attacked? Would you sit there calmly if your environment was suddenly and radically changed? Isn’t this how most animals would defend their surroundings, or threats to their young? Fight or flight, remember that one? Everything was fine until the accident, people in the vicinity had no idea what was being transported through their community, nor have any valid reason to be afraid of those bees.It’s not like they were plotting to go berserk. I imagine that honeybee herder will be a bit more careful driving his future charges, if he decides to return at all.
Gack…I used to live near there and I’m deathly afraid of bees!

The first guy I met through an internet personal ad was killed by a swarm of bees or wasps that he disturbed when he was mowing his yard. He apparently called for help from his phone, but the rescue crew didn’t get to him in time because the street names in his development had recently been changed and the new names on the street signs didn’t match the map the rescue squad was using. The truly ironic thing is that he was the real estate developer, and he had changed the street names himself only a few weeks before.
