This was taken from Thursday's Wall Street Journal, section 2 and I am recalling this from memory. The article is about making beards from bees. It seems that some people like to do that sort of thing. They hang a queen bee from a person's chin (in a small cage) and thousands (10k) swarm about the queen and make a beard. Note that the nostrils and ears are filled with cotton to prevent bees from flying up them and to prevent a contestant from hearing other contestants' screams. I forgot to mention that this is done in a contest to create the nicest beard, the prize being $100 for the winner. Judging is difficult since beauty is in the eye of the bee holder.
