Bees Attack Learners at St. Mathew’s Primary School in Chikwawa

A swarm of bees on Tuesday attacked learners at St. Mathew’s Primary School in Chikwawa.

In the incident, two standard one learners were rushed to St. Montfort hospital while several others endured the stings.

The bees originated from one of the trees within the school, biting learners and teachers in the process.

Mothers of the admitted children, Mami Wasi and Irene Efelemu from Sekeni Village in Lundu area have asked authorities to immediately remove the bees.

“I was at the ADMARC buying maize when I was called that my daughter has been admitted at the hospital,” said Mrs Efelemu.

Meanwhile, the school’s head teacher, William Chifundeni and his deputy Kingsley Mathias refused to comment on the matter.
