Honeybees sting 20 persons

By Our Staff Correspondent

UDUPI, JAN. 11. Honeybees attacked 20 persons at Govinda Tirtha on Kodachadri hill near Kollur on Monday.

According to the Kollur Police, 20 persons went to Govinda Tirtha at Kodachadri for a holy bath as part of "Ellamavasya." As it was very cold, they lit a fire to warm themselves. The smoke from the fire disturbed the honeybee hives on trees and boulders around, following which the bees attacked them.

A doctor was despatched to the area as soon as information reached the police. First aid was given to some while some were admitted to hospitals at Kundapur, the police added.
