Seems to be the appropriate response, though I disagree with the logic. A couple of years ago, a truck load of 400 hives enroute from Mississippi to Minnesota overturned near Cape Girardeau, MO.
Several beekeepers (including myself) rescued 70 pallets (280 intact hives) of bees for the owner, then began to pick up stray boxes and hive the swarms clumped up in the surrounding bushes. Darkness forced us to quit. Early the next day, law enforcement officials bulldozed the remaining boxes, loose debris and bees into a pile and burned them.
Many more bees could have been salvaged, but public safety has limits even though the wreck occured along an uninhabited stretch of I-55.
