LARAMIE (AP) — A tractor-trailer has crashed on Interstate 80near Laramie, releasing millions of bees that had been in its cargo.

The Laramie Boomerang reports that Wyoming Highway Patrol says the truck owned by Wisconsin-based Rushfeldt Farms was traveling eastbound on I-80 when the driver apparently fell asleep at the wheel on Wednesday. The cargo on the trailer contained beehives with honey bees.

The semi veered off the road, landing on its passenger side and releasing the bees.

Trooper Aren Peter says beekeepers from Albany and Carbon counties volunteered to help the driver recover the scattered bees.
