To Bee, Or Not To Bee

On Wednesday, a truck spilled its cargo West of Toronto Wednesday, and police were warning drivers to keep their car windows closed. The load was five million bees. Six or seven beekeepers eventually arrived at the scene and rounded up the stingers. A colony of honeybees in summer has around 50,000 to 80,000 bees, according to the Canadian Honey Council, a national association of beekeepers.
