Bee swarm worries residents of Santa Mônica in Ponta Grossa

A swarm of bees in Santa Monica, at Ponta Grossa, has worried residents of the Canaan Street region at the junction with Seon Street on Thursday. According to reports sent to BnT Online, the insects have been clumped under a metal structure for about four days. The presence of schools nearby and the movement of pedestrians increase the concern of those who live in the place.

Images received by the report show a large amount of bees gathered at the bottom of the structure. Residents say some insects have entered the homes and report fears that people will be attacked as they pass through the area.

Firefighters made isolation at first visit

According to residents, the Fire Department was activated when the swarm was identified. On the first visit, the team isolated the site, but did not carry out the removal of the insects.

According to the reports, the firefighters explained that the bees are protected by law and directed the residents to wait, as there is the possibility that the swarm will take flight spontaneously with the increase in temperature. It would also have been indicated the hiring of a beekeeper to make the withdrawal.

This information about the orientation given in the first visit was passed on by the residents to the report.

Team returns and removes part of the bees

On Thursday (24), after approximately four days of concern among residents, a team of the Fire Department returned to the address and removed part of the bees.

To date, there is no confirmation that the entire swarm has been removed or information about the need for further interventions on site.

The BnT Online requested a positioning of the Fire Department to clarify the procedures adopted in the occurrence and whether there are other measures to ensure the safety of residents and people who circulate in the region.
