I?m surprised that the fire department didn?t over the whole truck with foam. My st of the time that is what they do.
Looks like the hives are still strapped to the truck. Maybe that is why they will bee able to save them.
Usually the boxes are scattered all over the road.
You have a great fire department.

I'm trying to figure out the engineering behind uprighting the truck with the bees attached. First off, the truck is a little more than just on it's side, it's on the way over and at least some of those hives had to have gotten damaged and pushed into the others in a domino effect. That's a flatbed so I would expect that they'd grab it by the frame or the rub rail and pull it up, which I would expect to end up dropping all the hives off the other side. Either way though, if they saved most of the bees, they did good.

And it seems bee wrecks are not unusual.

That looks to me that they may be able to right it with most of the hives in tact. It is amazing what the tow companies that are experienced can do.
