The truck hauling an estimated 70,000 pounds of honeybee hives rolled over around 4am local time (12pm midday Friday BST) close to the Canadian border, the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office said in social media posts.
Police, local officials and several bee experts responded to the scene. The box hives later came off the truck, and local beekeepers swarmed to help recover, restore and reset the hives, according to the sheriff’s office.
