Six people, including a mother and her eight-year-old daughter, have tragically lost their lives after being attacked by Africanised bees, also known as “killer bees” in Nicaragua

The incident occurred on Monday morning when a coach carrying around 60 passengers veered off the road and crashed in an area where African honeybees were being kept in hives.

According to local reports, the angry bees reacted to the disturbance caused by the accident and stung 45 passengers as they tried to escape from the vehicle. The victims suffered multiple stings, and although the coach was severely damaged, medics attributed the cause of death to the insect stings.
