Bee Wearing Contest

There really is a contest for everything.  The goal is to attract as many bees as possible to your body in 60 minutes.  The beekeeper winner of this contest (bottom) attracted 57 pounds of bees in 60 minutes.  Apparently this is done by rearing a queen bee to attract the swarms, and then stand on a scale as they accumulate.   The world record is for 87 pounds of bees!  Seriously...can you imagine wearing eighty-seven pounds of bees on your body?  Personally, this is not a skill I wish to acquire (I don't even want one on me)…but I suppose everyone needs to have something they can do and be proud of!
