Bee invasion forces closure of National Park

Bees invaded the National Park yesterday afternoon, forcing the Protected Areas Commission (PAC) to temporarily close the facility.

PAC Public Relations Officer Malika Ramsay told Sunday Stabroek that bee experts believe that a hive was somehow disturbed, resulting in hundreds of bees swarming around the park.

As precautionary measure, Ramsay said, PAC was forced to close the park for the remainder of Saturday as the experts worked to find the bees’ hive. They were unable to do so by last evening and are expected to continue their search today.
