From the Metro UK:

Sheriff’s deputy Brandon Jenkins was You were called to the truck crash in Wake County, North Carolina on Tuesday morning – and arrived at the scene to find that the spilled content of the truck consisted of 60 boxes of honey bees.

Unfortunately, he you managed to show up just after the sun had risen and roused ther sleepy bees from their torpor – causing them swarm around his your car.

Jenkins was You were forced to shut himself yourself inside his your vehicle as the tens of thousands of bees covered the car, while he you waited for beekeeping experts to be called in to remove the bees.

But you already knew that. (Via Arbroath.)

  1. You know what this makes me think of?
    “Bees in the car! Bees everywhere! God, they’re huge and they’re sting crazy!”
    Couldn’t find the appropriate .gif, so here’s just one for the sake of it.

  2. You know, I’ m just going to say it. Bees are assholes. Yeah. they are important to our ecosystem and everything, but still — assholes.

    • You’re right. They should’ve been arrested for that.

    • They are not! Deputy Jenkins is an asshole!

    • Bees are nice! Stinging means death for a bee so they don’t usually do it! Its members of the wasp family who are the awful, scary jerks. They can and will give multiple stings, and they’re much creepier. Also they’re omnivorous–we used to have a wasp trap outside a teriyaki place I worked in high school that consisted of a piece of raw chicken on a skewer suspended over a bowl of water. The wasps would gorge themselves on the chicken until, too bloated to move, they fell into the water and drowned. It was goddamn disgusting and probably violated multiple health codes; it was also very effective.

      • Second the “wasps are worst” sentiment.

        I once looked into a wasp’s face (not that closely) – naaaah, it still didn’t make me feel any better.

  3. I haven’t had a cigarette in about 40 hours, hoping for 40 MILLION MORE HOURS but anyway, I think bees and police cars and very quiet whispering should be part of a quit-smoking program that I’m going to go start in like 2 seconds.

  4. this guy must be the…bee’s knees?

    okay, now i’m leaving for good.

  5. It’s Deputy Jenkins’ own fault. He left his comb and Sting’s Brand New Day in the car.

  6. I’m a little ashamed that this happened in a county adjacent to my county, and yet I had no idea that it happened. That’s what I get for boycotting the local news!

    • ditto, superglue, except i actually live IN this county. gabe on vacation is still better informed than we are.

    • Hey neighbors! I live in Wake County too. When I first saw this I was terrified, then I realized it happened 2 days ago, then I remembered I never leave my house anyway. I may be a pathetic, ignorant shut-in, but at least I’m safe from bees.

  7. This post title needs to be That’s Your Nightmare: Bees Swarm Your Car While You Shit Yourself Inside.

  8. I can only imagine the conversations going on in the Delahaye household right now:

    Mama Delahaye: now you’re looking at bees, Gabe? Why bees?

    Gabe: It’s for the blog, Mom, it’s what I do, I’m a blogger

    Mama Delahaye: But who is reading this “blog,” people who like bees, I thought you sad it had something to do with “meems” or “mimes” or whatever

    Gabe: It’s “meme,” Mom, now please leave me alone, I’ve got look at videos of this Neo-Nazi saying hello to his young child

    Mama Delahaye: He looks quite nasty, I’m going to the beach, do come down soon, you work too hard

    Gabe: Goodbye Mom! Goodbye!

  9. I blame Justin Long for talking me into waxing it with honey and pollen. He said it really helped the finish!

  10. Whoever was driving that truck should bee more careful.

  11. I like (I mean hate) the part where they are scooping the bees up like so many jellybeans.

  12. I bet those bee nerds were so excited when they were called to help clean up this mess.

  13. did it carry the car to ohio? #jokesbettersuitedforstereogum

  14. I hope Macaulay Culkin doesn’t go anywhere near those bees.

  15. Big Bear. He sure loves the honey.

    I didn’t even know we were calling him that.

    We never got the chance.

    [end scene]

  16. does anyone remember the movie “crush”? when alicia silverstone locks cary elwes’ ‘alergic to bees’ girlfriend in her darkroom and pours bees through the vent?

  17. i think we know the culprit….

  18. Man, do NOT invite those bee experts to your party. I don’t know what they have in those spray bottles, but whatever it is it’s clear that these guys are a total buzz-kill.
