LAKEVILLE, Minn. – Rescue crews were using fire hoses to douse an angry swarm of bees after a fatal crash that involved a semitrailer carrying about 17 million of the insects.

Authorities say a truck hauling 7,000 bee hives was involved in the four-vehicle crash Monday on Interstate 35 near Lakeville, about 35 miles south of Minneapolis.

Minnesota State Patrol spokesman Lt. Eric Roeske says one person died and another person was airlifted to a hospital.

The hives housed roughly 17 million bees and were bound for Bauer Honey in northwestern Minnesota.

It's unclear how many bees got loose, but several emergency workers were stung. Crews tried to use fire hoses to get them to fly away.

Roeske says all lanes were open by Monday evening.

I have an idea.......Someone needs to figure out a way to attract all of the bees to the Metrodome.....

Then we can lower the temp and kill the bees. Anyone have a VW bug?????
 
Going to need lots and lots of smoke.

LOTS and LOTS.....where is a mini volcano when you need one?

This is really sad as we're losing a lot of bees and we need bees to have food and honey !
 
That movie would be way too much for me :Ohno:

I was worried there would be more bees around the neighborhood but haven't noticed any more than usual. I wonder if they died from the stress or what happend to them?? I heard they were blasting them with water from the firetrucks so the rescue workers could get to the victims. UGH!!!
