These bees sure were in a sticky situation.
The Unified Fire Authority in Utah reports that a truck carrying 25 million bees broke down, putting them in danger due to the heat. Luckily, firefighters arrived to help keep the bees buzzing.
“While mechanics worked on the truck, firefighters carefully used a hose to mist the trailer and keep the bees cool, calm, and safe in the heat,” the United Fire Authority writes in a Facebook post. “With the unseasonable hot temperatures … the bees were at risk of dying if the truck stayed parked in the sun for too long, as there wouldn’t be a cool breeze from the truck moving along the highway.”
Along with saving the bees, the post notes, “We’re happy to report that no firefighters were stung during the operation!”
