RETRO FIND: Man wears beard of bees — does he get stung?

The man sported the buzzing beard as part of a honey festival in 1988.

It's national honey month and this is Lebanon's National Honey Festival. Now, this is *** bee and these are his friends and this is Charlie Fisher in just *** couple of seconds. Charlie, the bee and his friends will become his one. You see three times *** day during the run of the festival, Charlie ties *** little cage with *** queen bee in it to his chin and then releases £5 of bees. There are 3500 bees in *** pound by the way and then Charlie forms them into *** beard. Are you sure those are bees in there are sure they're not like over fed flies that he's painted? Those are for real. Those are for real. Now, the bees don't sting because they were fed this morning. So they're not hungry, putting on *** beard. What the bees do normally have *** queen in that cage and the bees are attracted to her. So that's we're just letting them do what they normally do and let's go to their queen. Now, people love to watch this stunt. Oh my God. Don't use *** flash. Just kidding. But watch is all they'll do. You want to do that next. Come on. If you do it, I'll do it. Ok. How about caterpillars? Would you try caterpillars? That's better. But Charlie wouldn't change *** thing with this beard. Are you worried about razor bumps? No. Now, ladies, we don't suggest you try this at home, but it is rumored that it's great for cleaning out pores. Michael Collins News five on the night.
