A group of tribal people have been deployed to remove bee hives in Kakinada. At least five students have suffered injuries after they were stung by honey bees in two separate incidents within a week.
Last week, some students suffered injuries after they were stung by honey bees on the campus at Government High School, Salipeta, and P.R. Government College. After the incident, many students are reportedly reluctant to attend school.
On being alerted by the Education Department authorities, the Kakinada Municipal Corporation carried out a field-level study that identified 15 bee hives in various educational institutions. A survey to identify the bee hives is also in the progress.
