On the afternoon of June 12, a bee stings that killed one person occurred in an area near the foot of Ta Zon mountain in Hong Son commune, Ham Thuan Bac district, Binh Thuan province. Nearby residents said that there was a large honey bee nest about 1 meter in diameter that nested on a coconut tree in front of a resident's house.
A woman was cutting grass nearby when a herd of bees blew her by and bit her, so she ran away. At the same time, Mr. N.T.D (born in 1983) was being bitten by this herd of bees while traveling.
Mr. D hugged his head, could not resist and was stung by a bee, leading to difficulty breathing and pain. After that, nearby residents discovered and burned dry trees to create smoke to repel the beehive. The victim was taken to the hospital by ambulance in a state of unconsciousness.
Mr. Tuan Ta - a person who specializes in collecting wild honey in this area said that this season of bees is quite fierce because at this time the beehives make strong honey, so the bees are greedy for honey, protecting the nest. In the locality, there are usually two types of bees: honey bees and fly bees. The fly bees are more gentle, while the honey bees biting are very painful and biting a lot is very dangerous.
