Bee Swarm After Vehicle Crash Kills Six in China


The bee-hive truck collided with a farm vehicle near Changchun, the capital of Jilin province, according to local newspaper reports

Pictures showed thousands of bees swarming around the accident site as workers, wearing protective clothing, cleared the debris.

The East Asia Economy and Trade News said three more people were killed hours later when two trucks collided as they tried to avoid the swarm.

There had been seven deadly accidents on the same section of road in three months, the newspaper said.

China dominates the world honey market, accounting for almost half of global production. However, the industry has suffered a number of health scares and apiarists in Europe and the US have campaigned for limits on imports.
