Mobile, AL joins the panic and trains firefighters to destroy hives (on trucks)

[Understudy]

Whatever disease Florida has it is contagious.
Now I realize that a truck with hives that gets into a wreck is a bad thing. But how often does this happen?

They seem to turn one over within 500 miles of here several times a year.  Sometimes they let beekeepers round them up and sometimes they foam them and kill them.  Beats me how they decide.

I would think that it would be some combination of the availability of beekeepers, the proximity to civilization, and the anger of the bees.

I noticed some other things in there that make me wonder...the last part about the benadryl and the meat tenderizer.  Sleepy tender people.

Beekeepers say if you are stung by a bee take Benadryl immediately or put meat tenderizer on the affected area. If that does not work, go to the emergency room.

I think they may be exadurating the "danger" of being stung.  If tenderizer or Beadryl don't help, just deal with it.  I don't think it's necissary to visit the ER unless you're having symptoms that aren't localized.

they should just try to find a local beekeeper to be on hand,and about getting stung, yeah just deal with it.
