Blog Guy, you used to offer useful tips on how people can tell if they’ve made a bad career choice. Can you please do some more of those?
Sure. Here’s one career test that many young professionals overlook until it is too late.
Look at yourself in a full-length mirror. If all you can see are bees crawling over every inch of your face and body, you may have chosen poorly on career day.
I was afraid of that, Blog Guy. That’s exactly what I see. But at least I am wearing swimming goggles and I have some sort of cigarette filters jammed in my nose.
I’m afraid that doesn’t change the fact that you wear bees for a living.
But the job sounded so glamorous! How was I to know?
Cripes, did you NEVER watch a cartoon in your life? Take a look at this actual screen grab from genuine Yogi Bear footage and you’ll see the true nature of bees.
So you’re saying I fell for a sting?
I would never stoop to such a cheap and easy pun, except to save my loyal blog commenters from the embarrassment of using it themselves.

Wang and Lv competed by standing on a scale wearing only a pair of shorts and using queen bees they reared to attract other bees onto their bodies. Wang won the competition after attracting 57 pounds of bees on his body in 60 minutes, local media reported. REUTERS/China Daily

Scary stuff. It’s a scene right out of a “bee” movie!
That would scare the bee-jesus out of me…

How did this fellow bee-friend these critters?

Brilliant use of a Shakespeare insect reference, Malt.
I find myself fairly bee-mused as to why somebody would consciously let that many bees land on them!
Unbeelievable.
I can not bee-lieve it! That’s an awesome job! How could you bee-rate someone for wanting to commune with the insects? I hear they are especially partial to music from the Bee-52s.
I am surprised that spin hasn’t taken the opportunity to wax poetic.

Beehive hairdo returns. One sweet blog, BG!
I’ll bee pollen the gang for their sweet thoughts for lunch. Perhaps biscuits and royal jelly.
There are too many bee puns here for me to add any more..
Bee punny…join the OE Blog Network!
Where’s Wang?
I’m rather stung that everyone used all the bee puns my poor little brain could generate. Maybe I need to get up earlier.
Also, in that top picture it looks a bit like there’s a bee crater where that guy’s face used to bee.
Stand in a bee cloud

Waxing, nooo problem our natural bees wax is the best.
Those age lines you can barely see them with our queen bee pheromone beetox treatment.

“How do they get them off their bodies?”
If that was me, may I humbly remind you of this post, and my comments therein.
