Belmopan Beware! Bees!
posted (February 5, 2019)
A Belmopan woman is fortunate to be alive after she was stung by bees. On Sunday evening around 5:00, the woman was riding her bike on the sidewalk near the park on Santa Maria Street when she was attacked by bees. We understand that some kids threw rocks at the hive in this tree which is in the park. The bees then stung the woman and, after that, stung a dog to death in a nearby yard. The woman was treated and released from the hospital. It's a serious public health concern because many people especially school kids pass the park everyday.

And after all this mess, this evening the agriculture department came and finally took down the bee hive. If you see a a bee hive call the agriculture department and do not stone or disturb the hive.
