I'm not scared of bees in anyway but the thought of trying to break a world record for the number of bees crawling all over you is scary / dumb / *insert your own thought here*

<font color = #FFFDDA > "An Irish beekeeper has failed to take the world record for attracting the most bees onto his body after managing a 200,000-strong 'bee beard'.

Wearing little more than underpants and goggles, Philip McCabe, 59, failed to top the 1998 record set in the US of 87.5lb (40kg), or 350,000 bees." </font>

Full story here.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4623497.stm

Maybe he should've tried it without the underpants...

Bee's are very cool little insects, we have a hive (my wife's hobby) and they're not particularly dangerous (at least the non-africanized honey bees). You follow a few rules and you can handle them quite easily.

I'd flip out if I did that, probably since I have near fatal allergic reactions from hornet stings [img]smile.gif[/img]

However, bees really dont sting too much. Still, with 200,000 bees on you, a few of them are bound to go for it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I've seen beekeepers do this, but I know I'd mess up and it wouldn't be pretty! LOL
