This is the best summary I could come up with:
TORONTO (AP) — Police west of Toronto on Wednesday warned drivers to keep their car windows closed after a truck spilled crates carrying five million bees onto a road.
Halton Regional Police said they received a call around 6:15 a.m. reporting the bee crates had come loose from a truck and spilled onto Guelph Line, north of Dundas Street, in Burlington, Ontario, just west of Toronto.
“Crates were literally on the road and swarms of bees were flying around,” he said.
The scene prompted police to warn drivers to close their windows as they passed by and for pedestrians to avoid the area.
By around 9:15 a.m., police said most of the five million bees had been safely collected and the crates were being hauled away.
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.
