    Pulled in there a little while ago and found this nice shady spot to park on the far ne corner of the lot , I'm 14'1 high but the load is just empty auto parts racks and I wasn't too worried about trimming the trees a little when I back in , so I do and yeah a few leaves fell and I set the brakes ...next thing I know I'm surrounded by what seems like every mad bee in Missouri (windows were up ) so I move across the lot and they are following me and that's when I noticed the nest on my trailer so I gave em all a ride to the next exit at high speed ...you guys might want to avoid that area for a little while lol

    Sounds like you snagged a bald faced hornets' nest.

    Did it blow off?

    I backed into a hive near Gainesville, TX once. Didn't realize it until after I came out of the truck stop. Saw several bees flying around but paid them no mind.

    Start up, update my logs and notice dozens of bees who appeared to be "humping" the hood of my Kenworth. I glance into the mirror and see a black swarm at the rear of my trailer and hundreds if not thousands "humping" the trailer.

    Apparently I backed into their hive and the workers were doing what they are programmed to do when the hive is attacked, attack back. They were instinctively trying to sting the truck. I took off and it took several miles before they all blew away.

    Be grateful none of the little monsters found their way into your cab through the firewall somehow.

    That would give me a heart attack.
