It is a 1:2 "Czech-style" flag with a red square angle hoist
triangle on a yellow over green equal horizontal diband.
"Abejorral" can be interpreted as Spanish for "place of bumblebees", but
no reference to it in the flag design.
António Martins-Tuválkin, 05 February 2016
As António correctly states, Abejorral is derived from a "place of bumblebees"
and even though no reference is made on the flag, it is made on the
coat of arms which has several bees in it. It was presented by Presbyter
Julio César Jaramillo on April 18, 1961. As for the flag, it was a request made
by the local Sociedad de Mejoras Públicas (SMP, Society of Public Works).

The flag appears to have a brown triangle on the hoist, and the rest is
horizontally divided yellow over green. How does that fits with the report of a
red triangle 10 years ago?
There is also version with the municipal coat
of arms on the flag.

This footage shows clearly
the brown cloth use for the hoist triangle, completely different from the red
area of the emblem. (The shade of yellow is identical to that of the national
flag nearby and contrasts clearly with the golden parts of the emblem.)

Abejorral is one of 123 municipalities in the Department of Antioquia,
Colombia. Its flag has a brown triangle on the hoist, and the rest is
