Bees Escape Truck at NJ Turnpike

A truck carrying thousands of bees broke down on the New Jersey Turnpike, leaving behind a swarm of queenless bees that went on a stinging rampage, forcing the service area to shut down. Experts were called in, and retired science teacher William Woodruff, a bee relocation pro, was dispatched. Working through the night when bees are less active, he vacuumed most of them into a container and brought them to his own hive—but some hid behind building letters. The next morning, as temperatures rose, those bees stirred again, so Woodruff returned with a new hive and queen to lure them out, even climbing a work truck to reach the last stragglers. Mission accomplished: the bees were safely relocated, and the service area reopened. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
