Bees on the Boulevard
posted (July 30, 2020)

A man had to be hospitalised yesterday after a killer bee attack. It happened yesterday around 4:00 pm Jane Usher Boulevard in Belize City. At the scene we saw an abandoned bicycle left by the victim who came under attack as he was riding by - according to reports.

The police had the area locked off, and the bees were still swarming. We could see a few bees pouncing on passers-by. It is unclear what provoked the attack, but the beehive is believed to have been in a thick bush on the side of the road.

Police kept the area locked off for a few hours and have to leave eventually. We are told that the Ministry of agriculture's Bee-team couldn't come to deal with the public hazard because they had no transport.
