Pensioner dies after attacked by bees while cutting tree

A 79-year-old pensioner, of Paradise, East Coast Demerara (ECD), lost his life in a tragic bee attack on Christmas Eve. Dead is Roy Scott-Rover.
It was reported by family members that Scott-Rover was tending to his garden and cutting a tree in his yard when he unknowingly disturbed a bee nest. The insects launched an aggressive attack, stinging him multiple times.
Family members further revealed that Scott-Rover was the caretaker of the property since the owners resides overseas. He was last seen on Christmas Eve day. When they noticed his absence, a search was launched.
He was found lying semi-conscious in his yard, surrounded by dead bees.
Scott-Rover died on Christmas morning at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).

Relatives described the elderly man as a kind and loving person and were devastated by the tragic circumstances of his death.
Less than two months ago, another incident occurred where a 70-year-old pensioner Imran Alli, also known as “Buddy,” of Novar Village, ECD, died after being attacked by a swarm of bees.
According to reports, Alli and his employee, Dalu Husher, were clearing a plot of land opposite Alli’s residence when they disturbed a bee nest. Both men were stung repeatedly.
Alli’s wife, Zeana, told police she heard Husher shouting for help and rushed to her veranda, where she saw him fleeing the area. Her husband, however, was lying on the ground, covered in bees.
Despite efforts by residents to assist, the swarm made rescue attempts futile. Husher later explained that overwhelmed by the swarm, he panicked and fled, leaving Alli behind as he was unable to assist.
Alli was eventually rushed to the Mahaicony Cottage Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
