Mr. Xiao, head of the guihua village committee, told reporters that in recent days, a total of 6 villagers in the village have been stung by horses and bees, of which Ms. Zhu, 58, unfortunately passed away.
Five people went to the village to dig up a honeycomb
Successive incidents of villagers being stung by horses and bees have also attracted the attention of the Guihua Village Committee, in addition to sealing the incident area, but also prepared a lot of pesticides, and purchased anti-bee nets.
According to the villagers, the bamboo forest originally had a relatively large horse honeycomb, and there were many horse bees, but they rarely attacked people.
A few days ago, 5 people came to prepare to dig the honeycomb. Because the honeycomb is on a relatively tall tree, it is not easy to dig, 5 people spent 50 yuan to buy the tree, cut down the tree, and then plucked the honeycomb, but did not deal with the wasp, the swarm of wasps still wandering in the bamboo forest.
According to the villagers, several young people have been digging up horse honeycombs in the neighborhood for a long time.
Mr. Liang, a villager in the village, confirmed that there are indeed people in the local area who specialize in digging horse honeycombs, and he has seen them several times, and it is said that a horse honeycomb can be sold for about 1,000 yuan.
Mr. Xiao, the person in charge of the village committee of Guihua Village, told reporters that after the incident, the village actively reported it, cooperated with the fire department to clean up the wasps in the bamboo forest, and set up a cordon nearby, and arranged volunteers to wait on the spot.
At the same time, the village committee reminds villagers to pay attention to safety and precautions through WeChat groups, text messages, telephone calls, and posting notices.
This time, the wasps frequently attacked the villagers, which is related to the fact that five young people had taken out the honeycomb before, and the police are currently investigating this. It is understood that after the incident, several young people who picked the honeycomb had a better attitude of admitting their mistakes, and now promised to pay 300,000 yuan in advance for treatment and funeral expenses.
Expert reminder
Bee pupae delicacies should not be picked at will
In addition to containing a variety of nutrients, bee pupae also has a large number of enzyme active substances, which have the effect of enhancing human body function and anti-cancer. Queen bee larvae also contain tocopherols and sex hormones, which can regulate human fertility.
The reporter searched on the takeaway platform and found that some restaurants provided dishes made of bee pupae, including fried bee pupae, crispy bee pupae, dried sautéed bee pupae, bee pupa scrambled eggs, spicy bee pupae, sour cowpea bee pupae fried minced meat, bee pupa fried rice, etc.
Internet information shows that the price of a pretzel bee pupae at a restaurant in Guangzhou is 158 yuan.
There are also some pharmacies that sell bee pupae freeze-dried tablets, with prices ranging from 60 yuan / box to 588 yuan / box, and the purchase records show that there are many buyers.
In this regard, Zhou Xingmiao, a professor at Huazhong Agricultural University, said that bee pupae is now a delicacy that many people like, so it is also very valuable, and it is estimated that many people will take the risk to pick the honeycomb, but it is very dangerous to do so.
Because the female wasp has a powerful long sting needle on her body, when it encounters attack or unfriendly interference, it will attack in groups, which can cause allergic reactions and toxic reactions, and in severe cases, it can lead to death.
Horse bees will have a certain danger to the production and life of nearby residents, and residents can seek help from professional departments such as fire protection after discovery, and do not risk picking themselves. In addition, you can't just pick the honeycomb, but also dispose of it together with the horse bees, so as not to leave a major safety hazard.
