Swarm of Bees Snarls Highway 99 In Sacramento

Yesterday in Sacramento a flatbed truck carrying 8-to-12 million bees flipped over and released a swarm over the highway, effectively shutting down. The bees, heading over to Washington after being used in the San Joaquin Valley for crop pollination, stung "officers, firefighters, and tow truck drivers" who were assisting getting the roads cleared.

Beekeepers had to be called in to "wrangle" the insects back into their crates and back on the truck. The highway has since reopened. (Shudder.)
