It was an “un-BEE-lievable” site on Highway 20 when a semi-truck carrying more than 14-million bees ran off the road and spilled its entire load Sunday.
The honeybees were on their way to North Dakota from Bakersfield, California, when the semi-truck left the side of the road just north of Last Chance in Island Park.
The Fremont County Sheriff's Office says they began to receive numerous 911 calls about the accident around 4:30 Sunday afternoon. Authorities also say everyone on the scene suffered multiple bee stings while assisting with the accident.
The fire department had to spray fire foam on both the semi-truck and bees before responders could access the scene. Numerous agencies in the area responded to help clean up the accident, which included a large amount of honey being spilt on the highway.

The fire department had to spray fire foam on both the semi-truck and bees before responders could access the scene. Why? Was there spilled fuel? Otherwise, it's a horrendous crime to kill 14 million bees. Extreme efforts should have been made to save them. Jeez, why not just firebomb emergency sites from orbit if you're so scared. Grrrr.

Authorities also say everyone on the scene suffered multiple bee stings while assisting with the accident. No one ever said that bees were grateful sons of bees.
