Wow, even with an insurance payout I have to imagine that’s crippling for a beekeeper.
Also, escape is a weird way to spell ‘swarm because their homes were violently destroyed’.
It’s crippling for all of us
Bees!!!
Last year they had those commercial hives experiencing a die off. Now they crashed a semi full of them on the way to some orchard. They’re gonna have to switch to robo bees soon enough.
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
If the Queens stay in the hive I think they could just wait for the rest of the bees to find their way back.
I hope you’re right but this was a semi full of hives. They have to be horribly damaged. I hope they can get some experts in there to identify which hives can be saved and put some distance between them.
Sucks for those beekeepers but on the bright side, that’s 250M bees that won’t be contracting and transmitting diseases from being forcibly intermingled with thousands and thousands of other hives with varying levels of hygiene, thus becoming vectors of their own when they get back.
