With the help of a handful of local beekeepers, police managed to recapture millions of bees that were accidentally set free in Burlington on Wednesday morning.
Police said shortly after 6 a.m., a pickup truck was hauling about five million bees in crates using an open trailer when the crates slid onto the roadway on Guelph Line, just north of Dundas Street.“I believe the straps somehow came loose,” Const. Ryan Anderson told CTV News Toronto on Wednesday.
Soon after police notified the public about the situation, officers said several local beekeepers offered to come to the scene to help. No serious injuries were reported but Anderson said one of the first beekeepers to arrive on scene had to be assessed by paramedics after being stung “quite a few times.”
