Workers at a former nuclear bomb facility in So. Carolina have discovered multiple radioactive bee hives at the “Savannah River” site. The facility where the nests were found holds 22 massive underground nuclear waste tanks, each up to 100 feet wide and 23 feet deep, packed with between 750,000 and 1.3 million gallons of radioactive waste.
Officials claim there is no need to worry because the bees “only” travel a few hundred yards from their nest “typically,” but of course they have not yet tested the surrounding area to validate that claim.
Of course it is possible that the bees were carried out of the area by strong winds and other mechanisms and have contaminated hives and plant life elsewhere. There’s really no telling at this point.
The only thing anyone can say with certainty is that radioactive bees are apparently all over this area in South Carolina, officials don’t know the extent of the contamination, and they are in no position to tell the public that there is nothing to worry about!
