The truck was carrying almost 32 thousand kilograms of hives when the incident happened.
Millions of honeybees escaped after a lorry transporting their hives overturned in Washington state.
The truck was carrying almost 32 thousand kilograms of hives when the incident happened near Lynden, close to the Canadian border.
The driver, who was unhurt, had apparently miscalculated a tight turn, causing the lorry trailer to roll into a ditch early on Friday.
Emergency crews were assisted by several local beekeepers to help recover, restore and reset the hives, according to the sheriff's office.
They believe many of the bees can be recovered, hoping the vital pollinators will return to their hives and find their queen bee over the next day or two.
