Bee Alert: 5 million bees fall off truck near Toronto and drivers are asked to close windows

A truck carrying five million bees fell off a truck in Burlington, Ontario and police asked drivers to keep their windows closed. Pedestrians were also asked to avoid the area. Halton Regional Police said they received a call around 6:15 a.m. Wednesday reporting the bee crates had come loose from a truck and spilled onto Guelph Line north of Dundas Street, just west of Toronto. About an hour after police put out a notice on social media, several beekeepers were in touch with police offering to help, Anderson said. Six or seven beekeepers eventually arrived at the scene.
