Recent bee attack highlights the danger of disturbing hives
Swarming bees near the governor’s residence on Seven Mile Beach last week caused the police to set up cordons and restrict access after several people were stung.
The issue with the bees began after a representative of the governor’s office raised concerns about a bee infestation at the governor’s residence in a bathhouse on the property. Troy Whorms, director of the Public Works Department, said a contractor came out to deal with the situation, “but the next morning there were still about 200 bees left, and they became a little more aggressive when they became aware their hive was gone”.
