Remember the millions of Alaska-bound honeybees stuck at the Atlanta airport earlier this year? Many of the bees died, but thanks to the quick work of beekeeper communities across the country, some were rescued. And now, the bees have new homes.
Bill Crumpler holds up a honeycomb to examine the bees’ state from a hive rescued from the tarmac of Atlanta-Hartsfield Airport a month before, when a shipment of millions of bees meant for Alaska was diverted from California.
Sarah McElrea said she was immensely relieved when the new shipment of bees finally touched down in Anchorage. McElrea sells bees and teaches classes from her home in Soldotna. She was gutted by the tragedy. And it also took a huge financial toll. They had to get creative to keep them cool. McElrea’s husband made a makeshift pipe to get cold air to the bees in the back of two rental vans. They drove to Seattle and made sure the bees were carefully loaded on the flight back to Alaska.“Boy, what a sigh of relief,” McElrea said. “It was an incredible feeling to be back on the ground in Alaska. The sense of relief is pretty indescribable.”
“You just look forward to kind of catching up with Sarah and what’s going on in the bee world, ‘cause she knows what’s going on,” Allemann said. “[She’s] so dedicated. I mean, when you see what she went through this year to get bees up here for us — that’s way beyond the call of duty.”
