Three Housing Ministry workers were yesterday rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), after they came under attack by a swarm of bees they disturbed during a cleaning exercise at the Beterverwagting Cemetery, East Coast Demerara.
Rainsford Benfield, 46, Seecharran Harricharran, 62, and Rajpaul Ramnarine, 67, were rushed to the GPH where they received treatment.
The men had been a part of a group clearing the cemetery, when a bee hive was disturbed. One of the men ended up in a nearby trench when the relentless bees began the attack.
Bee keepers had to be summoned to the scene to deal with the bees.
According to reports the men were all treated and sent away.
