How many bees would it have been of this would have been a “full” crash I wonder…
And that was a semi crash! Imagine what a full-blown crash would’ve caused
Never go full chub when you’re transporting that many bees.
It’s really interesting to describe bees as “loose”. What actually happened was a spontaneous pollination event.
Maybe that’s what makes them “loose”. Using their labor in such a way that can’t be exploited by capital.
In a sense i agree, but the crash was in Summer in North Dakota and they are European honeybees.
Honeybees are quite invasive in North America. They kill and displace native pollinators and they are generally less effective pollinators of native plants. The release of dozens more colonies into the ecosystem is a negative thing no matter how you look at it.
North America has the greatest native bee diversity of any temperate part of the world, but if you go out into habitat and actually start counting insects you will find honeybees outnumber everything else in most places, most times of year.
What…
Are we doing bee communist theory now?
If anything, bees are happy to contribute to something greater than the sum of its parts. That’s how hives work.
I’m not a vegan, but I can appreciate the values concerning animal welfare. Extending that to bees is just kinda silly to me. Nobody forces them to stay in the hive. They make more honey than they could ever use.
And if we’re talking about stolen labor value, should farmers be paying for all the animals that work to pollinate their crops? What about the ladybugs that eat aphids? Or the worms that turn waste into compost? Or the spiders, centipedes, wasps, and countless other critters that keep crops free of pests?
Quick! Someone call up The Bee Wrangler
I came for the bees gif in the comments and I quite satisfied.

Power to the beeple 🐝
I hope those bees go off and build good lives for themselves out there in the wilderness and pollinate lots of flowers

Too bad it didn’t happen in DC.
SOUNDS LIKE A JOB FOR DOCTOR BEES!!!
What’s this? Nearly 2 million bees let loose after a semi-truck crashed on the interstate? My Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant sarcophagus full of bees oughta put a stop to that!
Beads?
GOB’s not on board…
Were they Burt’s Bees?

Something like this was depicted in Chicago Fire television series. It was crazy. Turned into a Beenado taking down planes and shit. Fun to watch.
Hope everyone is okay here.
Dr. Bees was undoubtedly involved
WHATS THIS!?!
[Queue intro theme and Dr. Bees standing on a grassy knol]
A STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WITH A DECERNING LACK OF POLLINATORE AND OR BEES?
MY SEMITRUCK FULL OF BEES AUGHT TO PUT A STOP TO THAT!!!
Or The Candyman.
Guess who doesn’t have arthritis anymore.
Please explain.
There’s some evidence that bee stings help with arthritis. Also anecdotally, every beekeeper I’ve met credits bee stings with the fact that they’ve never had Lyme disease.
Weird and awesome.
See I work outside a lot, for years, plus I fish. I’ve had many ticks on me, never have got Lyme disease. Think it’s a hoax
Some believe bee venom (from stings) helps with chronic pain of arthritis.
I feel like there are plenty of arthritic people around. It shouldn’t be that hard to test this.
Ah. I thank you.
