Bees Angered By Truck Crash
BOZEMAN, Montana, June 16, 2004


A tractor-trailer overturned on a curve on a highway, spilling its load of hundreds of bee hives and unleashing some nine million angry honey bees.

The bees buzzed furiously as driver Lane Miller, his arm scraped to the bone, struggled to flee his rig after it overturned Monday in Bear Trap Canyon west of Bozeman. The truck slid across the highway before coming to a stop between guardrails.

"I had to kick the windshield out of the front of the cab and the bees were on me from that moment," said Miller, 41. "I've never felt so much fear in my life."

Miller walked away from the crash, and two people picked him up and took him to the hospital. Miller underwent surgery on his arm and suffered bruises and about 20 stings.

The state road was closed for 14 hours as crews and beekeepers cleaned up the 512 hives Miller was hauling from Idaho to North Dakota.

In spite of bee suits and extra clothing, beekeeper Gary Clark said he counted about 60 stings of his own.

"Everybody had literally thousands of bees on them, in their hats and on their suits," Clark said. "When we pulled the boxes out, big globs of them would fall on us."

Firefighters directing traffic also suffered stings.

"The bees were so agitated you could barely see the beekeepers or the wreckage itself, just because of the cloud of bees that were swarming," said fire chief Shawn Christiansen.

It wasn't until 3 am. Tuesday that a tow truck got in to haul out the tractor-trailer, leaving behind pools of honey from the overturned hives.

State Transportation Department employees dropped sand on the road to soak up the sticky mess.

Indians Hired to Clean Up Spill
BOZEMAN, Montana, June 16, 2004

It was reported earlier that a tractor trailer overturned on a Montana highway and spilled pools of honey onto the roadway. In an effort to clean up the honey, State Transportation Department employees spread sand over parts of the road to soak up the mess. These efforts proved futile.

In a last attempt to remove the remaining honey from the Montana highway, the state of Montana is currently airlifting a handgame team of greasy Kiowa Indians armed with several hundred pounds of what Indians refer to as frybread. This team of 10 300+ lb. Indians, all reported to be from Hog Creek, OK, will apparently use the spilled honey to season their frybread for consumption.

Apparently this is not a new situation for this team of Indians as the governor of OK highly recommends them after several previous successful honey spill clean ups within his state.
