This is the best summary I could come up with:


Beekeeper Michael Barber woke up on Wednesday morning to several calls from police looking for help after five million bees fell off a truck in Canada.

Mr Barber said he arrived to "a pretty crazy cloud of bees" who were "very angry, confused and homeless".

At the same time police put out a public call on social media urging people to stay away from the area, which is about an hour south of Toronto.

The bees were in their hives packed up on the back of a truck and being transported to their wintering location when the accident happened.

The driver of the truck was stung more than 100 times, Mr Barber said, as he wasn't wearing a full beekeeper suit.

He said he was grateful for the many local beekeepers that worked to keep the insects and the public safe, and added that the incident is a good reminder to always securely strap your bees.


The original article contains 437 words, the summary contains 156 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Good bot. How nice of him to remind us to always securely strap our bees.

Kinda weird that you're thanking code, and gendering it. It's like how people admire the singer in a band but not the ones making the music or making the singer sound good. The real talent is never appreciated.
