its a shame how a guy doing his job has lost his life my thoughts are with his family (god bless)

Yes. Puts a lot into perspective.

No suggestion, I think, that the bees were in any way a cause - an insecure package, for example.

Information is scant but it looks like he simply ran out of road ,collected some bushes, mounted the guard rail and flipped over .
A damned shame 37 probably has children. Doesn't bear thinking about.

it looks like a citylink lorry they do not allow bees to bee sent by them because i send hives by them and i have to say they are empty on the paperwork otherwise they will not take them

The lorry looks like a 40ft curtain side
how did the bees get from there into the cab as the cab is seperate from the trailer

Probably he had them in the cab, transporting them for a friend, or picked them up for himself

I don't think it has even been suggested that there were bees in the cab, so not sure where that idea came from?

Police said that it was a delivery lorry and that one of the damaged boxes contained live bees.

No real sharp bends on a motorway, so we can discount 'running out of road' unless there was another underlying reason. Time was likely an important factor and although a sad affair for family, at least it did not occur at a far busier time when there could have been other fatalities.

I agree with entirely with Rab there.
