Fear as five million bees escape from a truck in Canada

A truck carrying five million bees was involved in a road accident in Canada, not far from Toronto, in the east of the country, local media reported, citing police.

In addition to the police, beekeepers were called in as reinforcements, report our colleagues from Radio-Canada, because the millions of insects escaped from the vehicle.

“We don’t know exactly how it happened or what exactly happened, but at some point the boxes containing bees or beehives slipped off the trailer and spilled onto the road,” said local police spokesman Ryan Anderson.

To prevent the five million bees on the run from attacking cars, authorities have called on motorists to keep their windows closed.
