The price of honey and almonds just went up.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- A truck carrying 12 million honeybees hit a wall on a highway ramp, dumping its load across the pavement shortly before the evening rush hour.

The truck was carrying 480 bee colonies, each with 25,000 insects, to California to pollinate the state's almond crop when it struck the wall Wednesday afternoon.

The collision spilled the bees and gallons of honey onto the highway and forced troopers to close the ramp for more than four hours.

State police believe the driver lost control on the curving ramp.

5. I saw this on Olberman last night.

You don't really understand how many bees that is until you see them. They were everywhere, just sort of hanging in huge masses.
