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

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
