– at Anna Regina Multilateral

Students and teachers from the Anna Regina Multilateral Secondary on the Essequibo Coast were forced to vacate the school building due to the presence of African bees.
Students were sent home on Monday morning after teachers discovered that the main building was infested with the bees.
The discovery was made at around 09:00h on Monday. According to a student, the students assembled outside of the building and were asked to mark their names as being present before being sent home.
“We were told that we should go home since there are bees infestation in the main building and we should immediately leave,” the student related.
No one was stung and classes at the school are expected to resume today. The Agriculture Department of Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) was asked to assist in removing the bees from the building. (Indrawattie Natram)
