Millions of bees escaped from an overturned truck in the US state of Washington on Friday, sparking warnings from authorities for the public to avoid the swarm.

Emergency officials were helped by several master beekeepers after the truck, which had been hauling roughly 70,000lb (31,750kg) of active honey bee hives, flipped over on a road near the Canadian border.
