5 Million bees dead after Delta Airlines shipping "mistake".

About 5 million honeybees bound for Alaska last weekend got waylaid when Delta Air Lines routed them through Atlanta, where most of the bees died after being left for hours in crates on the ground during hot weather.

The bees were the first of two shipments ordered by Alaska beekeeper Sarah McElrea from a distributor in California. The bees were to be used to pollinate apple orchards and nurseries in Alaska, where they are not native.

But the bees were bumped from their original route to Anchorage, Alaska, and instead put on a flight to Atlanta, where they were to be transferred to an Anchorage-bound plane, according to published reports.

 

Delta called it an “unfortunate situation.”

Bees are extremely important for our ecosystem.

Being vegan would be a lot more acceptable if people like you didn’t open their mouths all the time about it

aren’t bees becoming extinct? :chick3:

Yes and I don’t think the majority of people understand how terrible this is. Without bees our entire feeding system would collapse
