Here's what it looks like when 20 million bees escape all at once

[anon37332521]

    20 million is more bees than the average truck. Why would one truck have so many? It's not like they sell them at WalMart?

Likely crop pollination. I know during almond bloom season in California, 20 million would be a normal shipment.

from the article:

“The state’s 91 million almond trees, a fifth of which grow in Kern
County, rely on roughly 20 billion bees to carry pollen from one variety
of trees to another.”
