Honeybees Escape Their Hives in Texas

Millions of honeybees escaped into a rural Texas neighborhood after a semitrailer carrying about 400 hives tipped over. Emergency officials in Orange County, Texas, shut down roads in the area Sunday morning and warned residents to stay in their homes while crews worked to unload the trailer and salvage as many hives as possible. The county is located east of Houston and borders Louisiana. No bee stings or serious injuries were reported. Officials haven't identified the owner of the hives.
