BRAZIL Old man is attacked in the street by a swarm of aggressive Africanized bees. He tries to hide from them in a plastic bag he has on hand, but he gets so many stings that he dies. The whole situation was filmed by people through a window. They were shocked but couldn’t help him.
Africanized bees (Apis mellifera scutellata) are sometimes called killer bees. They earned that nickname for good reason. They are a hybrid of honey bees and African bees. It was deliberately created by a man who thought that crossbreeding would give honey bees immunity from disease. Compared to honey bees, this hybrid has much higher aggressiveness, length of attack, number of bees in a swarm, faster reproduction and resistance to adverse conditions.
If you ever fall victim to an attack by Africanized bees – run away and protect your face, neck, mouth and all sensitive areas with a piece of clothing. Never try to kill the bees, but seek shelter quickly, but never water. The bees may be waiting above the surface for you to surface. Once you reach safety, carefully remove all stings and seek medical attention.
If you ever find yourself witnessing an attack, like the people in the video, always remember the first rule of first aid – never put your life in danger. The best thing you can do is to shout clearly and emphatically to the victim of the attack what to do. If the old man in the video had run or sought better shelter, he might have survived.
