Thanks tucker, I tried to post this earlier today, but STILL can't figure out this new setup, so I gave up. What is it with hauling bees? Are they that hard to haul? This is like the 3rd one this year. I think, they all get together, and say, "ok, on this next turn, everybody to one side, and we're free"!!! ( I see it was a Penske truck, could explain a lot fight there)
NavigatorWife and tucker Thank this. -
That looks like a sticky situation

That BEE some bad news
Straight Stacks Thanks this. -
Hey, would bees be a hazmat? They can be harmful when agitated. Emergency crews can't just rush right in and containment requires protocol and specialized gear.
Can you even load bees on a plane?
