The accident happened in Washington state in the Far Northwest of the country, when a semi trailer carrying a load of hives overturned. "250 million bees are now loose," wrote Whatcom County Sheriff on its social media page . "AVOID THE AREA due to the potential of bee escaping and swarming". Roads in the region, which nestles the border with Canada and is just 48km from Vancouver, have been closed as bee experts help with the clean-up.
