To Bee or Not to Bee

Why doesn't the news just rub honey into Linda's wounds?  Yet another news story of bees being friendly and non-threatening to the people who love them. This photo was from this years annual bee-wearing contest in China.  Only wearing a pair of shorts, nose plus and goggles, 20 year old Mr. Kongjiang wore 26 kilograms (or approximately 63 pounds) of bees for an entire hour. Less than a dozen measly bees land on Linda and she panics.  I wonder how the men get them to stay on their skin so long?
