Looks like I’m not the only one that gets stung by bees:

Lane Miller not only survived a tractor-trailer crash Monday afternoon, but also the wrath of 9 million infuriated honey bees.

Miller was hauling a load of 512 bee hives from Idaho to North Dakota on a flatbed trailer Monday afternoon. He lost control of the rig on a curve in Bear Trap Canyon on Norris Road, overturned and slid across the road before coming to a stop between the guardrails.

His arm had been scraped to the bone against the pavement, but Miller was able to free himself from the seatbelt, he said Tuesday.

But his troubles were far from over.

“I had to kick the windshield out of the front of the cab and the bees were on me from that moment,” the 41-year-old said in a phone interview from his room at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital.

“I’ve never felt so much fear in my life,” he said.
