Port Mourant Secondary School in Corentyne sees 26 students taken to hospital after a bee attack during the lunch break. Reports say the students are stung while at or near the school field, and one male student remains hospitalised. Other injured students receive treatment at Port Mourant Hospital and are discharged.
News outlets describe the incident as involving Africanised bees and swarming after a student apparently disturbs vegetation near a bee nest. Kaieteur News and INews Guyana both report the number of students affected and the outcomes of hospital care, including that only one student stays under medical observation. Both accounts also note the disruption and concern among parents after the injuries occur.
While the outlets differ slightly in the framing of the day of the week—one refers to a Monday and the other to Wednesday—the core facts remain consistent: a group of secondary school students are attacked by bees at lunchtime, many require medical attention, and one student continues to receive hospital care.
