Residents of a neighbourhood in Orange County, Texas, were told to stay indoors after an 18-wheeler carrying hundreds of honeybee hives overturned and released millions of bees into the area. The truck, which was transporting more than 400 hives for commercial pollination work, crashed after reportedly taking a wrong turn and attempting a sharp corner.

Although no major injuries were reported, the accident triggered a large-scale rescue effort and raised concerns about the survival of thousands of bees.
