No, we will not talk about wonderful things in every way. passion for breeding bees, about the profession of the beekeeper. We will talk with about extreme situations that people fall into because of bees, because these “cute insects” not only bring us honey, wax and other nutritious and medicinal products, but can also hurt sting, sometimes fatal to humans.
The beekeeper whom the bees did not bite, but only treated
So, the other day, a rural resident of North Carolina USA Wallace Leatherwood (Wallace Leatherwood) set off for a nearby town Waynesville to buy bee hives. Having a successful purchase three beehive, a man, before heading home, decided dine with your city buddies, why put the hive in interior of the car.
Returning from the cafe, the beekeeper, to his horror, saw that the bees left their temporary homes, capturing the entire cabin. American I felt sorry for the 500 dollars he spent on buying a hive, and the bees themselves, of which there were about 18 thousand individuals: otherwise in case they had to be forced out of the car or even destroyed. Therefore, Wallace Leatherwood at his own risk climbed into the salon car and continued on his way home.
It was this moment that his friends shot on video (see video). By the way, the American got to his apiary without any problems, and even when he transplanted bees back to the hive, he got everything with only a dozen bites from the most evil insects, which for an experienced beekeeper almost light “shake for the body”, even healthy in many ways.
When the bees become killers
However, such clashes with uncontrollable bees are not always end so well. For example, a few years ago in the capital Isle of Man Douglas employees of a landscape company were engaged in ordinary business in the area allocated to them, when suddenly on them attacked several thousand bees. As a result, almost all gardeners received many bites, after which they were all taken to the hospital. After some time, one of the victims, despite the efforts doctors passed away. As a rule, a person suffers in this case, whose body does not tolerate bee venom.

By the way, bees can scare and drive away from their possessions not only people, even elephants (see the next video). This incident occurred a year ago in South Africa in the Kruger National Park. AND although the animals did not suffer from this attack, as the inhabitants of the city Douglas, they had to flee from numerous stinging insects, as they say, in all the shoulder blades …
A bee sting turns a man into a woman
An even more unique case involving bees has occurred. a few years ago with an american ted prince who after a bee sting began to turn … into a woman.
As it turned out a little later, doctors, bee venom provoked the rarest genetic disorder called syndrome Kleinfelter, because of which the level in the American body fell sharply testosterone is a male hormone. His skin has changed, his figure, voice, secondary male features on the face disappeared, and so on. In general, Ted gradually turned into a woman.

True, the American himself was not particularly upset by this, on the contrary, this metamorphosis brought him some fame, since his they began to invite people to television on various programs, and show. Ted himself now called himself Chloe, and even set out completely change your gender, instead of being treated. His wife did not mind him in this strange intention, even in every possible way morally supported. Needless to say, reckless America!
Doctors found that the bee’s poison was somehow restarted in the body of a man the work of several glands. Usually bee venom used to treat endocrine diseases, but in this case he played a cruel joke with the American. However, the most affected this joke seems to have liked. Unfortunately, reporters like always, did not trace the further fate of Ted Prince. Or still Chloe Prince? ..
