Bee Attack In Giridih,even after the death the government is not taking care

Giridih. CPI-Maoist has a bloody history in Giridih. Maoism is still here. However, right now people in the villages are afraid less of Maoists, more of bees. There is a valid reason for this as well. In the last fortnight, bees have killed half a dozen people including siblings. Everybody’s poor. If Maoists kill, there is a provision of government compensation. There is a system of compensation even if an elephant kills or a snake bites it. There is no government compensation for the death of bees. The people of Tisri, Gawan and Bangabad, adjacent to the Bihar border, say that they are afraid of bees, not Maoists.

The sweeter the honey bee, the more venomous the sting. The body releases formic acid when stung. If thousands of bees attack, a large amount of formic acid enters the human body. This causes unbearable pain. IMA President Dr Vidya Bhushan says that the sting of bees contains such venom, which causes infection in the body. It affects the organs. Blood pressure decreases. The risk of death from a heart attack increases.

Bees usually do not attack. When she is frightened or someone breaks her hive, she becomes an attacker. After increasing the deforestation, their nature has become aggressive. Due to the continuous cutting of the forest, the bees are not getting a safe place. Half a dozen people who died in Gawan and Tisri of Giridih district, all had gone to the forest to cut wood or pluck leaves. According to forest officials, the bees thought that the branches of their hive would be cut on the tree. That’s why he attacked. With the attack, the bee also dies. Because its sting gets stuck in the human skin.
