Officers Pull Over Driver with Thousands of Loose Bees in Car

[n2doc]

A man driving with thousands of bees in his car was pulled over by Montana Highway Patrol last month.

Montana Highway Patrol dispatch said they received a call of a car driving all over the road on May 22. The caller said the inside of the car had bees all over the windows and that bees were flying around inside the car.

Troopers located the car and pulled it over.

The driver was removed from the vehicle and said that the bees were harmless “Russian Honeybees.”

The shocking thing is that this didn't happen in Florida...

1. so much stupid...

Being a beekeeper myself, the best time to transport bees is at night. They are very quiet then and "sleep".

the reasoning behind this is (as it was explained to me by a master beekeeper) that every morning bees go on a orientation flight. (to the untrained eye they look like they are swarming), then they go about their business of collecting nectar and pollen.

if you move them during the day, the bees out doing work, will not have a hive to go back too. it's a good way to lose a lot of the bee population of the hive. Which leads to a weak hive, which in turn, leads to other issues and potential problems.

2. I'm guessing they didn't tell him to "roll down your window"... n/t

3. So what happened to the bees once the cop shot and killed the driver? nt
