Around 1:45 PM on 5th Avenue in Panama City, a typical bustling day turned into a scene of pure panic when a swarm of Africanized bees appeared. People immediately started running, shielding their heads and seeking shelter as best they could. According to reports, this was a high-risk event due to the high concentration of people in the area. Although no citizens were found at the exact spot when authorities arrived, several people were confirmed to have been stung during the stampede. Firefighters secured the area and controlled the swarm using a specialized foam solution to prevent the bees from returning to their established site. Thanks to the rapid intervention, it was not necessary to transport anyone to medical centers, although personnel noted that many affected individuals left the area on their own. Authorities took the opportunity to issue a serious and direct call to the public: if you encounter a beehive or swarm of Africanized bees, do not try to shoo them away or throw objects. Such reactions provoke immediate and massive attacks. This incident on 5th Avenue left a warning for everyone: danger can appear at any moment, even in the city's busiest area.
