They said an autopsy on Dorothy Adams from Ratter Dam East Bank Berbice (EBB) was expected to be done on Friday after she was pronounced dead at the New Amsterdam Public hospital.
Her husband, Vishnu Persaud, is reported to have also been stung when he tried to rescue her.
Meanwhile, 57-year-old John Sutherland, is reported to have died after being attacked by bees in Eversham Village, Corentyne, in another incident also on Thursday.
