A commercial flatbed truck loaded with 50 beehives overturned Monday night after striking a car that apparently veered in front of it on River Avenue, releasing many of the bees that then buzzed around the crash scene. The beekeeper and truck driver, Piotr Kucharski, 40, of Sidney, unloaded some of the hives from the truck following the crash in hopes the bees upset by the commotion and flying about would return to the hives.
