A Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) worker died on Saturday after he was stung by a swarm of bees at the Blairmont Estate, West Bank Berbice.
In a release to the press, the  Sugar Corporation stated that it is saddened to announce that around 12:45 hours on Saturday, “Some of our employees from Bath Settlement were in the Old Bath Field on the road to the estate cultivation when they were attacked by a swarm of bees.”
As a result of the attack, the Sugar Corporation said, one of their employees Mr. Romesh Lalaram was fatally injured.
