Millions of honeybees abuzz after truck overturns in Washington state
BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — There was a buzz in the air Friday in northwestern Washington state as about 250 million honeybees escaped a commercial truck that overturned. The truck hauling an estimated 70,000 pounds (31,751 kilograms) of honeybee hives rolled over around 4 a.m. close to the Canadian border near Lynden, the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office said in social media posts. It appears the driver did not navigate a tight turn well enough, causing the trailer to roll into a ditch, county emergency management spokesperson Amy Cloud said in an email. The driver was uninjured, Cloud said. Deputies, county public works employees 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. The plan is to allow the bees to return to their hives and find their queen bee in the next day or two, according to the sheriff's office. The goal is to save as many of the bees as possible. 'Thank you to the wonderful community of beekeepers: over two dozen showed up to help ensure the rescue of millions of pollinating honey bees would be as successful as possible,' the sheriff's office post said. The public was advised to avoid the area on Friday, and sheriff's deputies dove into in their squad cars at times to avoid being stung. Honeybees are crucial to the food supply, pollinating over 100 crops including nuts, vegetables, berries, citrus and melons. Bees and other pollinators have been declining for years, and experts blame insecticides, parasites, disease, climate change and lack of a diverse food supply. In 2018, the U.N. General Assembly sponsored the first 'World Bee Day' on May 20 to bring attention to the bees' plight. Beekeepers often transport millions of bees from one location to another because leaving them in one location for too long can deplete resources for other pollinators, The Seattle Times reported. Alan Woods, president of the Washington State Beekeepers Association, told the newspaper the state should have a standardized 'emergency bee response' for bee vehicle crashes. In 2015, 14 million bees escaped a truck north of Seattle on Interstate 5 and started stinging people, the newspaper reported at the time. Lisa Baumann, The Associated Press

Natasha Cloud sparkling Liberty start earns her Eastern Conference Player of the Week
We've got you covered on the Liberty beat Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Madeline Kenney about all things Liberty and WNBA. tRY IT NOW A championship team needs a sparkling addition to provide a different feel when chasing a repeat title. Anyone can see and hear 10-year veteran and tenacious defender Natasha Cloud — the Liberty's answer. Advertisement Cloud has had an immediate impact on the Liberty offense, which led to her first career Eastern Conference Player of the Week honor on Wednesday after averaging 18.7 points, 7.7 assists, 5.7 rebounds, 2.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game over the first three games. That is the best start of her career and it speaks to how well the Liberty offense operates with the 33-year-old in it. A skilled facilitator, Cloud's passing has had a big impact on the Liberty, averaging 8.3 assists per game for an assist percentage of 41.8 across four games. Advertisement Natasha Cloud shoots a jumper during the first half the Liberty's blowout win over the Valkyries on May 27, 2025. Heather Khalifa for the NY Post The 8.3 assists per game surpasses her previous career high of seven assists per game in 2022. Cloud is also on track to chase down her 44.8 assist percentage, also achieved in 2022, while playing with the Mystics. 'She just needed to come to New York, that's all,' Jonquel Jones said in the Liberty's Player of the Week announcement video. Advertisement In the Liberty's convincing 95-67 win over the Valkyries on Tuesday, Cloud recorded 10 assists — five of which went to Breanna Stewart, who she often found down low or up by the charity stripe for a right elbow jumper. Breanna Stewart and Natasha Cloud of the New York Liberty smile after the Liberty's blowout win over the Valkyries. NBAE via Getty Images The performance gave her the No. 10 overall ranking on the WNBA's all-time career assists list with 1,555. 'I wouldn't say we have gotten that much practice time together,' Stewart said of Cloud after Tuesday's victory. 'I think our chemistry can only grow, but she has a great awareness of where people are. Especially Golden State, they're in a zone a lot. So, to break the zone, you want to get the ball to the middle. Sometimes I'm sealing off a guard most of the time and Tash was able to lead me to where I wanted the ball.' Advertisement Cloud leads the Liberty in assists to help their 25.3 assist average that is just 0.2 behind the league-leading Lynx in that category. The Liberty are off to a 4-0 start, tying their third-best undefeated start in franchise history from 2024. In 1997, the Liberty started the season by going 7-0. In 2007, they went on a 5-0 opening run. A soft schedule over the next five games gives the Liberty a shot to break the franchise record. On Thursday, they will face the Valkyries again and their upcoming matchups include the Sun, Sky and two meetings with the Mystics until their second meeting with the Fever on June 14.
