Cozumel Bee Attack
Last week a swarm of bees attacked several people passing by Tenth Avenue and Calle 3 Sur, Colonia Centro; and killed three dogs. Passer-by feeling threatened ran down the block, but unfortunately, three dogs owned by Christian “N”, who were in the yard of his home, could not escape the attack. All three died because of the number of bites they received.
Why the bees were stirred is unknown; Firefighters rushed to the scene, proceeded to cut a tree in a vacant lot and dumped more than four thousand liters of soapy water on a Honeycomb. After controlling the situation, the nest was removed from the site.
Authorities ask that you report insect nests before they get to be giant size.
“Dialogues Interrupted” by artist José Senties Nieto
“Dialogues Interrupted” by artist José Senties Nieto, is the name of the painting exhibition which opened this past week at the Museum of the island of Cozumel.

Joseph Senties, based in Mexico City, has exhibited his work in the United States and Europe individually and collectively. The artist decided to present his work in Cozumel, as it is the site where his brother resided until his death in a plane crash in the United States, nearly a year ago.
