On Monday, nearly 20,000 bees were rescued from a Caltrans signpost in Lompoc.
The signpost is located along West Ocean Avenue near the intersection of North T Street.
According to a social media post from the agency on Monday morning, the relocation was carried out with a one-way funnel— also known as a trap-out— that led the bees into a rescue box.
Caltrans officials say the bees were later safely moved to an apiary, which is typically used for honey production.
