Saw this while driving on my way home this morning.
Poor bastard doesn't know what he has waiting for him when he gets to his next stop. I thought about trying to tell him, but I figured he'd probably think I'm nuts if I pulled up on the side of him flapping my arms trying to imitate a bee.

OP is in TX. Possible those are africanized bees.
How in the world?! You would think they would all fly off. Honey bees are generally tame though, hopefully he saw it before messing with the load. Nonsense, if that was true, they would have swarmed the OP's car and caused a massive pile up on the road.

I'm glad someone got that posted. That was my first thought when I read the title and the OP. |

ditto! |

Still nothing from TBK? I'm curious as to what would be the procedure for relocating these critters if found.  If you had balls, you'd gently pick them up and carry them to a new box! They are swarming; the queen is somewhere in the center of that mass. They will all go where she goes, and are usually pretty docile when swarming. When I was a teen I found a swarm on a branch in the woods, gently cut the limb off with a pruning shear, and carried it home. (No suit or hood!) 
My uncle kept bees in wooden box hives on our farm; I called him and he told me which box to put them into. I forget all the details. (Basically started a new colony. And didn't get stung once.) But these were probably a strain of the gentle Italian honeybees, not those mean Halfrican bastards... |

Quoted: Could the truck have been used to move a load of bee hives? I've seen trucks loaded with hives before. That's what I'm thinking. The tarp, etc... tough to shed them all. I was in stop and go traffic a few months back in my Jeep––between two such semis. Not a good day to leave the windows at home.

How'd it get burned? HOW'D IT GET BURNED?!?! |

See, this is how good bees go bad. Starts with the hitch hiking. Then it's casual drug use. Next thing you know, they are stealing cars and robbing banks. And when they go down, their queen is crying and saying "Mah bayBEES dint do nuffin!" Hahaha I about pissed my self !

My mom made sure that I watched it when it repeated. I tried to tell her that Oprah did not buy the cars and they were donated for advertisement purposes. All of them were previous year left over cars. All a win win tax write off for both the manufacturer and HARPO. It wasn't free because of the federal,state, and local taxes that the new owners had to pay. She still thinks that the cars were free.
