A man died in the mountain while catching bees

According to locals, on the morning of July 28, after collecting pine resin, Mr. Bang took the opportunity to ride his motorbike to the mountainous area near Vua Mai temple, in Hung Son block, Nam Dan town to catch wasps.

However, by the evening of the same day, his family and children still had not seen him return home. It was not until midnight when the police called to inform them that his relatives learned that he had died on the mountain.

Through investigation, it is known that at around 11pm on July 28, people in the Hung Son mountain area heard dogs barking on the mountain. When they went up the mountain to check, they discovered the body of a man. Next to it was a Wave Alpha motorbike and a bee catcher.

The victim was later identified as Duong Dinh Bang, a resident of Nam Hung Commune (Nam Dan). When the incident was discovered, Bang had died several hours earlier, with a distended abdomen and many insect bites on his back. Locals suspected that while catching bees, Bang was stung by a hornet, leading to his death.

It is known that during the dry season, Mr. Bang often takes advantage of the opportunity to go into the forest to catch wasps to sell to earn money to improve his life. Last year, he was also bitten by a wasp, causing anaphylactic shock, but he was able to call his relatives, so he was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment in time.
