Kemaman: A 40-year-old man named Hafizul Mat Nor lost his life after being attacked by a swarm of bees while attempting to gather honey from a tree in Batu 18, Jalan Air Putih, Terengganu. The incident occurred around 9:50 am. According to District Police Chief Superintendent Mohd Razi Rosli, Hafizul was accompanied by a 44-year-old friend who initially advised against collecting the honey due to the tree's height, but Hafizul proceeded regardless.
As Hafizul climbed the tree, a swarm of bees suddenly descended upon him, delivering numerous stings. Alarmed by the attack, Hafizul urgently signaled his friend to flee for safety. The two men struggled to descend the tree and sought refuge in a pool of water at a nearby plantation. Hafizul soon complained of severe pain in his limbs from the stings, fell out of the water, and collapsed.
His friend attempted to rouse him, but realizing Hafizul was unconscious and convulsing, immediately dialled for emergency assistance. Despite urgent medical intervention, Hafizul succumbed to his injuries at Kemaman Hospital at 6:42 pm.
