A Washington State Patrol trooper safely relocated a honey bee hive found in the roadway on Interstate 90 in North Bend, according to a release from the department.
On Thursday, Trooper Dennis encountered the hive while on patrol.
After securing the bees, he safely transported the hive to a nearby area where the bees could continue to pollinate wildflowers.
During the rescue, Trooper Dennis, who has been nicknamed “The Bee Keeper,” was stung twice.
The incident serves as a reminder to drivers to secure their loads to prevent hazards on the road.
