Bee Beard’: Professor Covered In Bees At Washington State University During Lecture(Viewer Discretion Advised)

A professor at Washington State University, in  Pullman, Washington, Tim Lawrence teaches with bees all over his face, outside of the school.

He disclosed to the students how he is able to not get repeatedly stung by the honey bees with a dramatic demonstration of their stimulus-response. ‘Why is it we can do this and not get stung?’ he asks the class before saying ‘they are not inclined to sting’.

Anybody can come up and actually stick their hand right in this swarm and not get stung,’he says, inviting brave students to test it for themselves.

As reported by Metro UK, he explains how by holding the queen, the other honey bees swarm around him.

He added that it is his preferred way to create his ‘bee beard’ as it is more ‘natural’ than opening their cage and waiting for them to cluster around his body. ‘I think you get better bee beards this way, you get more of a natural, larger swarm,’ he says.
The Professor however admitted to have received some few stings from the bees.
