So this only caused a small buzz in the community, yet the local reporters just droned on and on about it.

Sorry for the puns. I promise to bee-hive myself in future.

Did they ever determine the cause of the crash?

I’m disappointed that no-one has posted a GIF of this happening on the Simpsons.

There’s a bunch of bee episodes, but no overturned truck that I know of

Beekeepers from Adee Honey Farms were called to the scene

Frankly there have been a LOT of simpsons episodes involving bees.

[allenk]

In Arthur C. Clarke’s “Tales from the White Hart” there’s a truck crash that is all set up to sound like a huge radioactivity spill. Punchline: it’s bees.

There’s this quote:

Homer : [attempting to get Bart out of Burns’ mansion] Or what? You’ll release the dogs, or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark, they shoot bees at you? Well, go ahead!
– Burns’ Heir

Couldn’t find a gif that worked as well as the quote.

Well, there’s this out-of-context clip:
