DEBAK – Members of the Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) Debak branch successfully removed a honey bee hive from a residential garden this evening, following a complaint lodged by a local resident concerned about public safety.
The hive was discovered on a tree within the garden, raising fears that the bees could pose a danger to both the complainant and visitors to the area.
Upon receiving the report, APM Debak immediately dispatched a team to the location to carry out the removal operation.
Officers arrived equipped with protective clothing and specialised tools designed for handling bee colonies.
The operation was conducted with caution, as bees are known to become aggressive when their hive is disturbed. Despite the risks, the team managed to complete the task without incident.
The hive was carefully taken down and relocated, ensuring that no harm came to the residents or the responding officers.
The complainant expressed relief and gratitude for the swift intervention, praising APM Debak for their professionalism and efficiency.
Civil defence officials highlighted that such operations are part of their broader responsibility to safeguard communities from potential hazards.
Wildlife-related incidents, including encounters with snakes, bees, and other animals, are regularly handled by APM units across Sarawak.
Authorities reminded the public that emergency services are available at all times and encouraged residents to report similar cases promptly.
Quick reporting allows trained personnel to respond effectively, reducing risks to both individuals and the wider community.
APM Debak reaffirmed its commitment to readiness and community safety, stressing that their teams remain prepared to assist in emergencies ranging from medical cases to wildlife threats.
The successful removal of the beehive demonstrates their ongoing dedication to protecting residents and maintaining public confidence in local emergency services.
