Dhule: 60-yr-old farmer dies after being stung by bees

Dhule, Nov 5 (UNI) A 60-year-old farm labourer died while undergoing treatment after being severely attacked by a swarm of honeybees while returning home after completing his day's work in a field.
The deceased has been identified as Shankar Vitthal Koli (60), a resident of Ghodsagaon village. The incident has cast a pall of grief over the village and surrounding areas.
Koli had gone to work on the agricultural land of Bharat Yuvraj Koli in the village.
After working in the field throughout the day, he was returning home in the evening when a swarm of honeybees suddenly attacked him near a beehive along the way.
Within moments, hundreds of bees surrounded him and stung him repeatedly all over his body. Caught completely off guard, Koli could not defend himself and collapsed at the spot.
Hearing his cries for help, nearby farmers and villagers rushed to the scene.
They courageously rescued him from the swarm and immediately shifted him to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Doctors initiated emergency treatment, but his condition remained critical due to the effects of the bee stings.
Koli battled for his life for two days. However, despite the best efforts of the medical team, he succumbed to his injuries.
