SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — Summit County said Monday afternoon that millions of bees are estimated to be on the loose following a semi-truck rollover on I-80.

“Local beekeepers are working to recover as many bees as possible,” Summit County said. “Avoid walking, biking, or riding through the Silver Creek section of the Rail Trail, especially for the next several days.”

The county said that experts anticipate significant bee activity through the holiday weekend.
