this didn't happen at the track. was on the way home after the races and was pulling in to the truck stop at i-90 and saw a few truck ahead of me. looked in the lane that pu and cars fuel up and saw a truck hauling beehives fueling up. all around the truck was a big cloud of bees swarming. well, i was tempted to go right on by. instead i called my next to oldest son that used to work with bees to ask him what my odds were on getting stung if i fueled up anyway. he said just don't swat em, it'll make em mad. well, it was my turn, so i pulled up, wussed out and put on my jacket and pulled up the hood. started fueling up and noticed they weren't buzzing me so i relaxed and finished up. went in and paid up and was walking back to the rig and noticed the swarm was all around the trailer and race pu. the pu is white. bee hives are white. looked at the back of the pu and it was covered with bees. inside and out. called my son again and asked him if they'll just fly away when i take off and he said most of them will. it took about 5 miles till they were all off the outside. got home and looked inside the cab and there was about 100 or so inside dead or dying due to the heat.
