Bee Beard GONE WRONG!

Brave Wildernessのインパクトある系動画。

「あごにハチミツ塗ってミツバチ集めたら髭になるんじゃね？」という至極純粋な疑問から生まれた今回の挑戦。

とても好きです #愛すべきバカ

00:01
- [Coyote] I am getting nervous now.
00:02
- [Chris] No turning back now buddy.
00:06
- [Cameraman] You alright?
00:07
- I'm getting stung a lot.
00:08
Alright, gotta get 'em off.
00:09
- [Chris] Go ahead and just jump.
00:10
Real hard.
00:13
- They're all on my face.
00:14
My eyes!
00:30
- [Narrator] From high in the sky, the Sonoran Desert
00:32
looks like an endless expanse of rocky terrain
00:35
that is speckled with cacti.
00:38
Hidden amongst this unforgiving environment
00:40
exists a world of animals,
00:42
many of which can be difficult to spot.
00:46
However, today is going to be a little different,
00:49
as instead of looking for the animals,
00:51
they're literally going to be placed right in front of us.
00:54
Or in my case, directly on my skin.
00:57
- That's a lot of bees.
00:59
- [Narrator] With the goal to prove that honey bees
01:00
are not just out to sting you, or so I thought.
01:04
The crew and I headed out to Life's Sweet Honey Farms
01:08
where I will be working alongside
01:09
bee specialist, Chris Britton.
01:13
Chris and his team specialize in safely removing
01:15
bee swarms from residential areas,
01:18
honey farming, and per my special request, bee beards.
01:25
- [Chris] This the craziest thing
01:26
you've done this morning, Coyote?
01:27
- [Coyote] Sure is. Other than shave off my fur beard.
01:31
- [Narrator] Ah yes, the beard.
01:33
I'm sure you were wondering,
01:35
Coyote, what in the world happened to your fur beard?
01:39
Well, the answer to that question
01:42
is that I shaved it off to make room
01:43
for the nearly 3,000 European honey bees
01:46
that will soon be swarming all over my face.
01:49
Get ready for the newest trend
01:51
in facial hair fashion, the bee beard.
01:58
The following scene was filmed on private property
02:00
and under the supervision of bee specialists.
02:05
A single sting has the potential to be fatal.
02:08
Never approach a bee hive in the wild.
02:15
- Okay well, we're gonna start the preparation here.
02:18
Chris is actually going to apply Vaseline,
02:20
you said to my nose, and my ears, and near my eyes,
02:24
so that the bees don't go
02:25
into these holes in my face, right?
02:27
- Well, you're either gonna look homeless with a beard
02:29
or we're gonna look like a nice manicured beard.
02:31
So this is a pseudo-queen.
02:32
This is basically a queen pheromone lure.
02:35
So this is what's going to push those bees
02:36
to actually gather somewhere
02:38
because they're actually looking for that queen pheromone.
02:40
They've been separated for a while,
02:42
so this is what's gonna actually hold them on your face.
02:44
Okay, so we're gonna put this underneath your chin.
02:46
- [Cameraman] So this is gonna be the attractant.
02:48
- This is the attractant.
02:49
- Alright guys.
02:51
Well I think we have reached the final moment here.
02:54
It's either back out or get covered by bees,
02:58
and I don't think there's any backing out at this point.
03:00
I have the pheromone attached to my chin.
03:04
Got a GoPro here, GoPro on my shoulder,
03:06
both of your cameras going.
03:08
Now wait, wait, wait, wait.
03:10
Before we go through with this, how do I get the bees off?
03:12
What if something goes wrong?
03:13
What do I do?
03:14
- Good luck, man.
03:15
I'm just gonna drive away.
03:16
(Coyote laughs)
03:18
Nothing's gonna go wrong when it comes down to the bees.
03:22
If they get to the point
03:23
where they are stinging excessively,
03:24
you can just shake off real quick.
03:26
- Put these in your pocket.
03:28
- Epinephrine pens.
03:29
Just in case this really goes wrong.
03:34
I am getting nervous now.
03:35
Now I'm getting nervous.
03:37
I'm Coyote Peterson and I'm about to take on
03:40
the bee beard challenge.
03:42
Are you ready?
03:42
- [Chris] Yep.
03:44
- Okay, let's do this.
03:45
- [Chris] No turning back now buddy.
03:54
Come on girls.
03:56
Come on girls, up you go.
04:00
- [Cameraman] How you feeling now Coyote?
04:01
- It's a lot of bees.
04:03
It's tough to talk.
04:05
- [Cameraman] There's a bee right on your nose.
04:07
- I feel it.
04:11
- [Cameraman] That's a lot of bees.
04:16
Are you feeling nervous?
04:23
Have you been stung yet?
04:24
- No stings yet.
04:26
- [Cameraman] That's good. That means you're remaining calm.
04:28
- My leg is shaking.
04:31
Stung on the lip.
04:35
- [Cameraman] It's stuck on you.
04:41
You alright?
04:43
Be brave.
04:45
- My neck is consumed.
04:47
- [Cameraman] I'm gonna take a couple steps back.
04:49
I just got stung.
04:51
Right in my hand.
04:52
I didn't realize we were getting
04:53
swarmed by bees this morning.
04:55
- There a lot of bees on me?
05:02
- You got it. You got this.
05:03
- Getting stung a lot.
05:05
I've gotten stung about six times.
05:09
Ow, my neck is getting stung again.
05:15
- This is what we start with right here.
05:16
We just get more for the bees to start on him.
05:19
Then what they're gonna do
05:20
is they're gonna emit a pheromone,
05:22
and it's a location pheromone,
05:24
and those bees are just gonna start basically migrating.
05:27
So now I can actually just basically hold this right here
05:30
and they're gonna all start marching up, watch.
05:32
- Are all the bees out?
05:34
- [Chris] No.
05:35
- My lip is swelling up.
05:38
- [Chris] You're alright.
05:39
- [Cameraman] You definitely have a full neck of bees.
05:41
- I can feel them all.
05:43
- [Cameraman] Are you still getting stung?
05:44
- No, not right now.
05:49
- [Cameraman] So what is Coyote-
05:50
- It stung the lip again!
05:59
Same spot.
06:00
It's really starting to hurt.
06:03
- [Cameraman] Wow, Coyote there.
06:04
You are just covered in bees man.
06:07
- It's actually turning out pretty well.
06:11
- Lip!
06:14
Alright, I think I need to get them off.
06:16
- Are you okay or you want them off?
06:18
- It's a lot of pain.
06:19
- [Cameraman] But you've almost got it.
06:20
You're so close.
06:22
- Go ahead.
06:24
- [Cameraman] You got it, you got it.
06:25
Power through, you got this.
06:27
You already got stung, you can do it.
06:29
- My eyes.
06:32
I'm getting stung a lot.
06:33
Alright, gotta get 'em off.
06:34
- [Chris] Go ahead and just jump.
06:35
Real hard. You just knock 'em off.
06:41
- They're all on my face.
06:42
My eyes!
06:44
- [Cameraman] You alright?
06:48
- Smoke me, I'm getting stung a lot.
06:55
- [Chris] You got stung quite a bit.
06:57
- There's one on my hand.
07:00
- [Cameraman] Oh yeah. I guess he just stung you big time.
07:02
- [Chris] You got stung a bunch bud.
07:04
- Can I walk away?
07:12
Oh man, my face hurts.
07:15
- [Cameraman] You should see the sting
07:16
you have in your neck.
07:17
- Oh my gosh.
07:18
- [Cameraman] Are you okay?
07:19
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:20
- [Cameraman] Is your tongue swelling up?
07:21
The tongue is the indicator.
07:22
- No, not yet, but my face is on fire.
07:25
- [Cameraman] Oh man, okay.
07:26
I think we're good now.
07:27
It's only a couple bees and they're just following
07:29
the pheromone on your face.
07:31
Hold on, you still got stingers all in your ears.
07:34
Oh my gosh.
07:36
Let me see if I can get them out.
07:38
- Dude, I got stung like so many times.
07:40
All of a sudden, all at once they started stinging my face.
07:43
And on my ears.
07:45
- [Cameraman] I wanna get the stinger out of your ear.
07:49
- [Chris] You okay bud?
07:51
- Sorry, I was just getting a lot of stings.
07:53
- No, it's fine buddy.
07:54
You got 'em through your shirt and everything.
07:56
For some odd reason, all of the sudden,
07:58
they started just absolutely going to town on you.
08:01
You can see, look at that right there.
08:02
That actually literally...
08:04
- [Cameraman] It drew blood.
08:05
- [Chris] Yeah, it got blood to the surface.
08:07
You just got stung like 40 times in the face by honey bees.
08:10
- [Cameraman] 40!
08:13
I don't think that was supposed to happen Chris.
08:16
- [Chris] I don't know why.
08:17
I wasn't getting all blasted up.
08:19
I mean, I got stung like once or twice
08:21
but he was literally just getting beat up.
08:30
- Oh my gosh.
08:31
Dude, my face is in so much pain right now.
08:34
- [Cameraman] You alright?
08:36
How's the tongue?
08:40
- Really, really painful.
08:42
My tongue is not swollen but my entire,
08:44
my lips, I can't feel my lips.
08:48
- [Cameraman] Where's Mario at?
08:49
- [Chris] He's over there filming.
08:50
- [Cameraman] Hey, tell him to come over here.
08:51
- [Chris] Hey Mario.
08:52
- [Cameraman] Mario!
08:53
- [Chris] He's probably covered up by bee sounds still.
08:55
- [Cameraman] Come over here.
08:58
Was it worth it?
09:00
- Oh man, I can see my lip in the lens.
09:04
- [Cameraman] You don't wanna look at yourself right now.
09:06
You don't wanna look in a mirror right now.
09:10
- Well, I guess I better give you some sort of outro
09:12
of where I can't talk 'cause I find that my lips
09:15
are not working properly at the moment.
09:17
- [Cameraman] Alright, I'm gonna try to be calm.
09:19
Alright, go for it.
09:20
- I'm gonna be calm.
09:22
I think based on the look on my face,
09:25
the bee beard is not the new fashion trend.
09:29
I lasted for about a minute and a half
09:32
with my face covered in around 3,000 bees.
09:37
Once they started stinging my lips, it got really painful.
09:40
They were swarming around my eyes.
09:41
I was getting stung on my hands,
09:43
on my arms, on my forehead, on my ears,
09:46
but it was definitely the lips
09:48
as you can see from how swollen they are right now
09:51
that were the worst.
09:53
I'd definitely say that the bee beard
09:54
was an experience worth experiencing.
09:56
So far I haven't had any major adverse allergic reactions
10:00
other than just this localized swelling
10:02
on my hands and on my face.
10:04
- [Cameraman] (laughing) You can hardly tell.
10:05
- You think this looks okay?
10:07
- [Cameraman] You can hardly tell.
10:09
- I can tell you guys are having a real hard time
10:10
not laughing while we're trying to get this outro.
10:14
We counted around two dozen stings on my body at this point.
10:18
My lips are swelling up.
10:19
My eyes swelling up.
10:21
As you see, the drool's coming out of my mouth.
10:24
But I'm Coyote Peterson, and that was the bee beard.
10:28
Be brave.
10:30
Stay wild.
10:33
We'll see you on the next adventure.
10:35
Oh, that's painful.
10:38
- [Narrator] When it was all said and done,
10:40
we counted a total of 32 stings
10:43
that spanned my face, lips, ears, neck, and arms.
10:51
The neurotoxin of the European honey bee
10:53
is very specialized and is notorious
10:56
for causing extreme localized swelling.
10:59
For me, this began immediately,
11:02
and despite the disfigured, lumpy,
11:05
baked potato look of my face,
11:07
I actually handled the venom very positively,
11:10
and within 48 hours, was completely back to normal.
11:14
- Now the guys have their bee suits on
11:15
and they're gonna put the bees back into their hives.
11:17
So far, about 30 minutes have gone by.
11:19
No anaphylactic shock so I should be just fine
11:21
other than the fact that my face
11:23
looks like the face of the elephant man.
11:25
Now I can see in the reflection of your glasses,
11:27
it is not pretty.
11:28
It is not pretty.
11:29
- [Narrator] If you were wondering how this compared
11:31
to the single sting from a bullet ant,
11:35
I can honestly say it was worse.
11:39
As compared to the warrior wasp,
11:42
I guess we will just have to wait and see.
11:46
If you thought wearing a beard
11:47
of European honey bees was intense,
11:49
wait until you see what happens
11:51
when we go up against a swarm of 30,000 killer bees
11:54
to extract some wild honey.
