A semi-truck carrying 250 million bees overturned in Whatcom County, Washington, releasing the insects onto a road. Authorities closed Weidkamp Road while bee experts, sheriff's deputies, and public works crews worked to contain the situation. Most of the hives were recovered, and bees are expected to return by Saturday morning. While some bees perished, many are expected to survive. Authorities advise avoiding the area due to agitated bees.
