It was a stinging revelation on State Route 99 in Sacramento, California, yesterday: mixing 12 million honeybees, a top-heavy tractor trailer and a tight freeway on-ramp makes a painfully sticky mess that will quickly bring traffic to a halt.

With an estimated 440 bee hives smashed on the side of the highway, and millions of stressed-out bees buzzing wildly and looking for victims, disaster was thankfully averted by a group of beekeepers who happened upon the accident (there's never a cop when you need one, but apparently beekeepers are readily available). Once their hives were re-assembled on another flatbed, the tiny insects made a bee-line for the shelter and, sweet ending in sight, began to bee-have themselves once again. Thanks to everyone who bugged us about the story!

Alright, so we're going to try something a little different for us. We'll periodically pull a car-related photo from the news, and ask you to come up with captions to fit the image in 'Comments.' Prizes? Ahh, we wouldn't dare corrupt the artistic process with something so materialistic-- our readers are too smart for that, and would see right through us. 

Take your best shot. We'll even start you off with one...

"On second thought, Walter mused... perhaps retrofitting Ethel's Pontiac with a honeycomb grille wasn't the best of plans."
