There was a buzz in the air Friday in northwestern Washington state as about 14 million honeybees escaped a commercial truck that overturned.

The truck hauling an estimated 70,000 pounds (31,751 kilograms) of honeybee hives rolled over around 4 a.m. PT close to the Canadian border near Lynden, Wash., just south of Abbotsford, B.C., the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office said in social media posts.

It appears the driver did not navigate a tight turn well enough, causing the trailer to roll into a ditch, county emergency management spokesperson Amy Cloud said in an email. The driver was uninjured, Cloud said.

Deputies, county public works employees and several bee experts responded to the scene. The box hives later came off the truck, and local beekeepers swarmed to help recover, restore and reset the hives, according to the sheriff’s office.

A commercial truck carrying over 30,000 kilograms of honeybee hives rolled over around 4 a.m. local time on Friday near Lynden, Wash., just south of Abbotsford, and millions of bees were accidentally released. The Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office released a video of the buzzy scene.

The plan is to allow the bees to return to their hives and find their queen bee in the next day or two, according to the sheriff’s office. The goal is to save as many of the bees as possible.

“Thank you to the wonderful community of beekeepers: over two dozen showed up to help ensure the rescue of millions of pollinating honey bees would be as successful as possible,” the sheriff’s office post said.

The public was advised to avoid the area on Friday, and sheriff’s deputies dove into in their squad cars at times to avoid being stung.

Honeybees are crucial to the food supply, pollinating over 100 crops including nuts, vegetables, berries, citrus and melons. 

Bees and other pollinators have been declining for years, and experts blame insecticides, parasites, disease, climate change and lack of a diverse food supply.

In 2015, 14 million bees escaped a truck north of Seattle on Interstate 5 and started stinging people.
