My maid's husband is a coconut tree climber and he mostly plucks tender coconuts. A couple of days ago when he was right on top of a coconut tree he did not the see the bee hive. The bees got disturbed and he was stung all over.
When he got down he fainted and he had swelling all over with the stings He was admitted. He is in pain and even got fever.
He is now planning on giving up this profession.
I feel for my maid as she is all distrot.

That's really disheartening! Are there no other safe ways to get the coconuts??

He could have checked before climbing. He is now thinking of doing some other job and that is being discussed.

Wow, that is definitely an agonizing situation to be in. It's horrible, I can't even imagine the suffering he was in. I'd give up that profession too. Hope he gets better.

@allknowing - I am glad and he was lucky not to suffer of an allergy, that could have been fatal.

That is terrible, I hope he will be all right. I will put in a prayer for him, Is he allergic to bee stings?

These days they use coconut climbing equipment.
That climb down was painful

That's really sad. Climbing a coconut tree is really difficult at the same time being stung by bees painful too.

@allknowing If he plans to leave coconut plucking the machine will become useless.
