81-year-old woman dies after swarm of bees attack at Achiase

An 81-year-old woman has reportedly died following a bee attack at Achiase near Asuofua in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District of the Ashanti Region.

The deceased, identified as Nana Afia Achiaa, was attacked by a swarm of bees on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.

A resident in an interview with OTEC News Reporter Kwame Agyenim Boateng said the bees attacked the deceased during the invasion.

According to the source, the swarm of bees has been in the Achiase community for about one year and they are always disturbing the people of Achiase.

The incident happened between 5:30 pm and 6:00 pm on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, while the old lady was staying in the Achiase palace and she decided to come outside on the street for conversations, where she met the bees.

No one could go to her rescue immediately, but after some time they rushed her to a nearby hospital where she was confirmed dead.

The residents were forced to repel the attacks using insecticide spray before rushing her to the hospital.

She was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
