The Buzz About Bees: A Sticky Situation on I-95

As someone who despises insects, especially flying ones, I was horrified to hear about an incident involving an 18-wheeler carrying approximately 15 million honey bees. The truck crashed and overturned on I-95 in Maine while en route to pollinate blueberry fields in Washington County.

A Hive of Activity on the Highway

The sight of millions of bees swarming around the accident scene must have been a nightmare for those involved. The bees, agitated by the crash, posed a significant risk to anyone nearby. Beekeepers were called to the scene to assess the situation and safely remove the bees from the area.

Navigating Legal Hurdles

Interestingly, this incident also sheds light on an archaic maritime law that impacts transportation on I-95. Understanding the legal implications of transporting bees and other goods is crucial to preventing similar accidents in the future.

Lessons Learned

While this may seem like an unusual and isolated event, it serves as a reminder of the potential dangers that come with transporting live cargo. Proper precautions and safety measures must be taken to ensure the well-being of both the cargo and the public.
