For this National Geographic photo shoot, Angelina Jolie did not bathe for 7 days because bees are sensitive to smells and will not sting when the smell is too strong.

Thousands of bees were flying around the actor during the photo shoot.

The session was held in honor of World Bee Day, with Angelina Jolie posing with bees for 18 minutes… a noble and risky gesture to honor the insects that play a fundamental role in our nature.

I worked a bee hive once with a old bee keeper, but it was a last minute thing. Working all day in and out doors in tshirt and shorts..

I donned the helmet, we smoked them out m. All the while my arms and legs were covered in them. He said long as you don’t swing they won’t sting.
