Millions of bees escaped after a semitrailer turned over in Orange County, Texas, on Saturday (21 June). According to local radio station KOGT, the vehicle tipped over after the driver failed to negotiate a turn on Colony Lane near FM 1130. Photos published by Christie Ray, owner of Queen Bee Supply, showed beekeepers and emergency workers helping to secure the hives. Chris Moore, a honey farm owner who stepped in to help the bees, told CBS News that he estimated only about a quarter of the 408 hives would survive, depending on how many queen bees survived the incident. Orange County Emergency Services District 4 officials said an 18-wheeler carrying beehives turned over, and there was a “heavy presence of bees in the area,” advising residents in the 1130/Colony Dr. area to remain indoors.
