Yesterday afternoon, the Santoboma police station received a distress call reporting that a man had been attacked by a swarm of Brazilian bees on Welgedacht A-road. Upon immediate investigation, officers discovered that not one, but two individuals—a 53-year-old man and his 52-year-old wife—had been targeted by the aggressive insects while tending to their farm. The victims were transported via private vehicle to the Emergency Department of the Academic Hospital Paramaribo, where they received urgent medical attention. Although their condition is now stable, they remain under observation. The fire department was also called in to locate the bees’ nest and mitigate further risks in the surrounding area.
