5,000,000 honeybees !!!!!

it's more than an "unfortunate situation".

they were irreplaceable live cargo and should've been treated like they were in first class.

Do Delta airline personnel not understand or care how integral bees are to our entire food chain?

an experienced beekeeper should travel with them the entire way in the future.

the cargo should have been treated like level A research cargo Demovictory9 May 2022 #10

Let me get this right. The bees are in California. They are bound for Alaska. That's a straight shot Hekate May 2022 #6

they should have used Alaska Airlines which flies directly to Alaska from california Demovictory9 May 2022 #8
