Zhu-zhu-creepy shots: a pregnant American woman arranged a photo shoot with a swarm of bees

The workers of the shoe factory probably always have their shoes polished, and the beekeepers at home are full of honey. And they also have countless bees at their disposal. It would seem that how can they be used, except for honey extraction? But Emily Mueller from Ohio State found a way. She assigned the bees the role of scenery for a photo shoot. The piquancy of the story is added by the fact that Emily is pregnant.

"People think I'm putting my child at risk," says Emily. "But bees are very gentle, and I hope that my photo shoot will help other people believe that these insects are not so scary." Such a reverent attitude of a woman to bees is explained by the fact that she owns a small honey production company.

Together with her husband, they started breeding bees after Emily had a miscarriage. She needed to distract herself from gloomy thoughts, to switch her attention to something. Since then, the couple has had three children, and now they are expecting a fourth.

"My son will be born in November, and this will be our last child. Therefore, we wanted to celebrate this pregnancy in a special way. And it seemed to me that taking a picture with bees on your stomach is a good idea. After all, I can accurately determine whether they are aggressive at the moment or not." Emily fed the bees to the brim with cotton candy, and they became completely peaceful.

During the shooting, Emily was stung four times. She claims that her own carelessness in handling bees was to blame for this. "Of course, I was nervous at first, but then I realized that this is one of the most exciting moments in my life. It was an absolutely amazing connection with nature. It was very inspiring to see bees crawling over my baby's stomach."
