iddee got me to thinking, i have seen and witnessed misplaced bees when semitrailer loads of bees, packages or hives coming up from the south overturn on the freeway.
if anyone is interested, put your name in to volunteer to the state patrol, state troopers, local pd departments or sheriff departments to help collect bees from freeway accidents of overturned semi's carrying bees. whoever is carrying the bees usually have a back up plan, but are usually short. short on a plan or not enough help. i have volunteered for a number of years for freeway spills of bees. it's very sad to see this. the bees are misplaced and gather on the semi, vehicles, the state troopers vehicles, you, the packages, or what's left of the hive equipment and anything near the right of way along a freeway. unfortunately, and in the interest of public safety and a need to get an accident cleared and traffic moving, the local fire departments spray them down.
although sad, it's worth the education.
