Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Drivers west of Toronto in Canada were warned to keep their car windows closed after a truck spilled crates carrying five million bees onto a road.<\/p>\n

According to The Globe and Mail, Halton Regional Police said they received a call around 6.15am (local time) reporting the bee crates had come loose from a truck and spilled onto Guelph Line in Burlington, Ontario, just west of Toronto.<\/p>\n

It was “quite the scene”, Constable Ryan Anderson said.<\/p>\n

“Crates were literally on the road and swarms of bees were flying around,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The initial beekeeper that was on scene was apparently stung a few times.”<\/p>\n

The scene prompted police to warn drivers to close their windows as they passed by and for pedestrians to avoid the area.<\/p>\n

About an hour after police put out a notice on social media, several beekeepers were in touch with police offering to help.<\/p>\n

Six or seven beekeepers eventually arrived at the scene, Anderson said.<\/p>\n

By around 9.15am, police said most of the five million bees had been safely collected and the crates were being hauled away.<\/p>\n

Some crates had been left behind for the uncollected bees to return to them on their own.<\/p>\n

A colony of honeybees in summer has around 50,000 to 80,000 bees, according to the Canadian Honey Council, a national association of beekeepers.<\/p>\n
