A bee invasion has forced authorities to close the National Park. In a notice by the Protected Areas Commission (PAC) on Saturday, it stated that the National Park, Thomas Lands, Georgetown, is temporarily closed to the public after a suspected bee invasion was reported in the park. PAC noted that bee experts have already been called in to handle the situation.

However, the Commission further announced that the park will remain closed today as the experts will continue working on locating the bee’s hive, after failed attempts on Saturday.
“The National Park is temporarily closed until further notice as there seem to have been an invasion of bees. We are working feverishly to investigate and have this mattered sorted as soon as possible,” the PAC said in a statement. It added that the decision to close the facility is to ensure that all persons are safe and unharmed.

“Operations personnel and the bee expert will resume their work at 6:00 am (06:00h) on Sunday 2nd February 2020,” the statement read.
When Guyana Times visited the area on Saturday afternoon, the gates to the park were closed and persons were seen waiting outside of the facility.
