Akuvi Egbor, a farmer from Avega, a farming community within Akatsi North in the Volta Region, lost her life when he was attacked by a swarm of bees on her farm at Kunyorwu, near Avega.<\/p>\n

The incident, which occurred on Saturday, December 13, at about 1000 hours, left another 82-year-old woman, named Eya Xenyo, in critical condition at St Anthony\u2019s Hospital in Dzodze.<\/p>\n

Narrating the tragedy to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) after the disaster, Cephas Weto, a Deputy National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) Coordinator in the area, said the deceased, believed to be in her late 70s, died on the way to her farm during the attack.<\/p>\n

He said he received an alert about the incident from the Ghana National Fire Service in the area, and they quickly rushed to the disaster scene.<\/p>\n

Mr Weto indicated that upon their arrival at the scene, the deceased was found dead with another in critical condition.<\/p>\n

He gathered that the bees emerged from a nearby baobab tree when a machine operator was tasked with reshaping the road network in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe operator did not know there were bees on the tree. The residents in the area contacted the assembly to help prepare the road ahead of a pending funeral,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Weto also stated that the bees emerged from the tree upon hearing the graders leading to the attacks.<\/p>\n

The body of the deceased has since been deposited at the morgue for further action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
