LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- A truck carrying 12 million honeybees hit a wall on a highway ramp, dumping its load across the pavement shortly before the evening rush hour. The truck was carrying 480 bee colonies, each with 25,000 insects, to California to pollinate the state's almond crop when it struck the wall Wednesday afternoon.
The collision spilled the bees and gallons of honey onto the highway and forced troopers to close the ramp for more than four hours.
State police believe the driver lost control on the curving ramp. Authorities summoned beekeepers to help but decided capturing the bees alive would take too much time and money. Firefighters doused the insects with water to kill them.
"We're talking millions of bees," said Don Grogan, owner of Sedona Honey Co. in Las Vegas, who was helping with the cleanup. "And tomorrow they'll all be dead. ... It breaks my heart."
That's crazy! Can you imagine what Vegas must be like, extra bees everywhere.

But at the same time I feel sorry for the company (honey company I guess?) since that is a big loss, you can't make 480 bee colonies overnight with a few survivors.
