More than half a million bees died in Massachusetts after they were left in a hot UPS truck for weeks, the USA Today website reports today (May 22, 2021).
A million bees were meant to be shipped to beekeepers in New England, but were held up in the town of Shrewsbury, nearly 50 miles west of Boston, due to faulty packaging, according to UPS.
A beekeeper had been called in by UPS on May 20 because they had been getting loose, but more than half of the bees had already died.
Whatever bees survived were located and released by the beekeeper UPS brought in.
