A semi-truck heading from Bakersfield, California to North Dakota on Sunday crashed off the shoulder and released more than 14 million bees and a torrent of honey, the Daily Mail reported.

Fire crews first tried to cool down the bees by spraying them with water. A bee expert then suggested using fire foam kill them so the workers could get near the truck to clean up the mess and recover the vehicle and surviving hives.

In addition to worrying about stings, the clean-up crew feared bears would come for the honey.

A number of the firemen were stung in the first few hours of the clean-up operation, but there were no serious injuries.

Crews worked all day Monday to remove all the honey from the roadway, though deputies said a significant number of bees were still buzzing.（點擊英國《每日郵報》查看原文）

貨車事故 蜜蜂漫天飛

?????? 英國《每日郵報》消息，周日，一輛半掛貨車從美國加州的貝克爾斯菲市開往北達(dá)科他州時突然側(cè)翻，1400萬只蜜蜂從車中飛出，大量的蜂蜜噴涌而出。

?????? 消防員開始試圖向蜜蜂噴水讓它們冷靜下來。隨后，蜜蜂專家建議用滅火泡沫把它們消滅，使工人們可以靠近卡車打掃殘留并修復(fù)殘存的蜂巢。

?????? 除了怕蜜蜂蜇人，消防員還擔(dān)心有熊會“聞蜜而來”。

?????? 在清理的頭幾個小時里，許多消防員被蜇傷，但情況都不是很嚴(yán)重。

?????? 工人們周一忙活了一天才把所有的蜂蜜從路上清理掉，但還有很多蜜蜂依然“逍遙法外”。
