💨 Abstract

In Bellingham, Washington, approximately 250 million honeybees escaped after a truck carrying 70,000 pounds of hives overturned. Authorities and local beekeepers responded to rescue and reset the hives, aiming to save as many bees as possible. Honeybees are vital for pollinating over 100 crops, and their decline is linked to various factors including insecticides, parasites, and climate change.
