good place to set up some bait hives, or just keep a look out for clusters of lost bees to add a queen to.

what a mess, never did tell about the driver if he was OK or not, guess that was not news worthy.
Bees are bees and do as they please!

"The driver of the truck  was not injured in the crash." 2nd paragraph of the article from the Seattle paper.

Now that's a clean up!

Did they turn the bee's back in, or did the Beeks out in WA get a whole lotta free bee's?

From what I read, the company (who had beekeepers there helping with cleanup) managed to salvage over 100 of the hives.  Many were killed though.  Or unrecoverable.
