Nicaragua’s Ministry of Health Lacks Protocol for Dealing With “Killer Bee” Attacks
Africanized bees have been present in Nicaragua for more than 40 years, and their highly aggressive behavior has been documented by scientific studies. The death of three members of a family in Chontales, following a fumigation attributed to a brigade from this government agency, confirms that people do not know what to do when an attack occurs. Despite this, the Ministry of Health has not developed educational campaigns or response protocols to prevent attacks or guide its field staff.
