Mr. Le Xuan Huong - Principal of Thanh Chuong 1 High School said: all the students of the school who were stung by bees and had to be hospitalized have attended school. The "blanket" beehive is still intact on the tree, near the stadium. Previously, the beehive was probably broken because people climbed the tree to collect honey.
