    LYNNWOOD — A semi-truck loaded with more than 40 million bees overturned on Interstate 5 in Lynnwood, sending more and more angry insects into the air as the temperature warms up and traffic intensifies.

    The crash occurred sometime before 4 a.m. Friday morning near Milepost 183 at the intersection of I-5 and I-405. The semi-truck blew a front tire and overturned, Washington State Patrol Troopers said, sending more than 448 honey bee hives onto their side onto the roadway.

    Wow. I'm afraid of bees/bugs. Never been so happy to be in Indiana.

    It's all good. Lots of apple trees that need pollinating out there. Maybe there will be an abundant crop and prices will come down. Ah crap, who am I kidding?

    Heard about that on the news.
    First thing that came to my mind was 'I hope nobody in the area is allergic to bees'

    And we think unloading at Walmart or Target takes a long time...imagine getting half unloaded...then they have a shift change...and the new guy has to recount from the beginning.:biggrin_25526:
