What's up with the bees?
Yesterday's collision between a bee transport truck and a pick-up truck, pictured, appears to be one of several bee incidents in the city.The other day, Battalion Chief Jim Curatalo had to open up his car to a pedestrian when he was attacked by a swarm of bees. Curatalo was driving behind the same bee transport truck that crashed yesterday.
But another bee victim was not so lucky. A couple of days ago, a man suffered 40 bee stings and his dog died from the stings after coming across the insects while going out for a walk.
Yesterday, several firefighters, a driver and a passenger suffered multiple bee stings. Today, crew continued to clean up the honey that lingered on Haven.

Why would Mr. Curatalo, if he was being attacked by bees, open his door to a [sic] pedestrian?
Or am I being too pedestrian?
I guess that sentence was confusing. Curatalo wasn't attacked by bees. The guy walking down the street was.
What a horrible accident. The collision sounded like a sonic boom. A few seconds later I saw the truck that carried the bees sliding through the intersection where Trader Joe's is located. I cannot believe no one was killed. I will never forget it. I saw the driver and passenger of the bee truck on the ground kicking there legs in agony from being stung. I also picked up a woman in my truck who was being attacked and had multiple stings on her face. The thing I remembered most was how many people were trying to help others and risking there own safety doing so.
About a week ago I saw a huge swarm of bees in my backyard in Alta Loma. They were just passing through. I have never seen that many around here.
Did you tell them to buzz off?
Where have you seen that many?
the city has alot and i mean alot of bees around the area lately, there are some locations where i try to say away from while walking because of the amount of bees that are located in that area. the city needs to do something to keep the people safe in the city.
