80 million bees swarm as truck crashes
Conrad Cramer, aged 82, died on Monday at the scene of the wreck on Interstate 95, but a swarm of bees that circled frantically around the overturned truck made recovery of the body impossible for several hours. “A lot of the hives were broken, so firefighters had to put on their protective equipment to get the driver out,” said Brevard County Fire-Rescue spokesman Orlando Dominguez. There were no reports of stings from emergency workers or people on the roads.
Cramer, owner of Cramer’s Honey, was probably heading to Orlando with a cargo of bees he had recently collected, said his daughter-in-law Ranee Turner.
