Awesome.

Courtesy of the ABC, a truck carrying beehives rolled over in southwest Queensland this week, leaving an angry swarm and destroyed hives.

There was a huge cloud of bees, a swarm that Onlookers described as looking like a big, dark, shadowy cloud.

Traffic had to be diverted.

A bunch of drivers rolled down their windows to check out the action and see what was happening.

And they got stung.

The bees flew into their cars.

It was absolute mania.

An SES volunteer, Wayne Bryant, spoke to the ABC.

He was on the scene.

He said, we've got a pile of destroyed hives and a swarm of angry bees in about a 10-metre radius around the truck.

He was doing his best to divert traffic, but he said that from about 30 metres away he could still see the big cloud of bees.

Yeah.

Yikes.

Traffic was closed in both directions, so I'm sure it was a massive disruption to everyone's day on Wednesday.

But now that they've had some time to put the calamine lotion on, I hope everyone's okay.

Wow.

That is it for today's Deep Dive.

We will be back with your evening news headlines a little later on.

Until then, have a great day.
