The narration describes an experiment where Coyote Peterson, a wildlife expert, decided to get a bee beard. He shaved his fur beard to make room for nearly 3,000 European honey bees on his face. The bees were placed on his face under the supervision of bee specialists Chris Britton and his team. The goal was to prove that honey bees are not just out to sting, but also to study their behavior.
The preparation involved applying Vaseline to Coyote's nose, ears, and near his eyes to prevent the bees from going into these holes in his face. Then, a queen pheromone lure was attached to Coyote's chin to attract the bees.
Despite initial nervousness, Coyote proceeded with the experiment. He was stung multiple times, with the stings causing extreme localized swelling. Despite the disfigured look of his face, he handled the venom positively and was back to normal within 48 hours.
The segment ends with Coyote reflecting on the experience, stating that despite the intense experience, he was able to handle the venom very positively. He also reflects on the upcoming challenges involving a swarm of 30,000 killer bees.
1. A bee specialist named Chris Britton is working alongside Coyote Peterson, who shaved off his fur beard to make room for nearly 3,000 European honey bees that will swarm all over his face [Document(page_content="00:01:04.83: The crew and I headed out to Life's Sweet Honey Farms where I will be working alongside bee specialist, Chris Britton. Chris and his team specialize in safely removing bee swarms from residential areas, honey farming, and per my special request, bee beards.")].
2. Coyote Peterson was preparing for the bee beard challenge by applying Vaseline to his nose, ears, and near his eyes to prevent the bees from entering these areas of his face [Document(page_content="00:02:18.94: Chris is actually going to apply Vaseline, you said to my nose, and my ears, and near my eyes, so that the bees don't go into these holes in my face, right?")].
3. The bees were to be lured to Peterson's face using a queen pheromone lure [Document(page_content="00:02:32.28: This is a pseudo-queen. This is basically a queen pheromone lure. So this is what's going to push those bees to actually gather somewhere because they're actually looking for that queen pheromone.")].
4. Peterson was nervous before the challenge and was applying Vaseline to his face to prevent the bees from entering his nose, ears, and near his eyes [Document(page_content="00:03:34.25: I am getting nervous now. Now I'm getting nervous.")].
5. Peterson's face was swollen and painful due to the bee stings, and he was unable to feel his lips [Document(page_content="00:08:40.75: - [Cameraman] You alright?\n00:08:42.55: My lips, I can't feel my lips.")].
6. The bee specialists had to count around two dozen stings on Peterson's body at one point [Document(page_content="00:10:14.18: We counted around two dozen stings on my body at this point.")].
7. Despite the pain and swelling, Peterson was able to handle the venom of the European honey bee well, and was back to normal within 48 hours [Document(page_content="00:10:59.76: For me, this began immediately, and despite the disfigured, lumpy, baked potato look of my face, I actually handled the venom very positively, and within 48 hours, was completely back to normal.")].
8. Peterson was planning to go up against a swarm of 30,000 killer bees in the future to extract some wild honey [Document(page_content="00:11:57.05: If you thought wearing a beard of European honey bees was intense, wait until you see what happens when we go up against a swarm of 30,000 killer bees to extract some wild honey.")].
