Actress Covered In Bees For Stunning Photoshoot

Actresses posing in striking attires and gorgeous looks under the arc lights in not uncommon. But an actress got covered by bees for almost 18 minutes for a photo shoot.

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has posed for the National Geographic magazine to raise awareness on bee conservation. Angelina Jolie is seen covered in hundreds of bees for the photoshoot.

Angelina Jolie wore a white off-shoulder Gabriela Hearst dress and a large number of bees sit around her chest and shoulders and some are even on her face. The photographer Dan Winters explains how complex the photoshoot was due to safety concerns in the pandemic and due to the bees as well.

“Everyone on set, except Angelina, had to be in a protective suit. It had to be quiet and fairly dark to keep the bees calm. I applied the pheromone in the places on her body where I wanted bees to congregate. The bees are attracted to the pheromone, but it also encourages them not to swarm. We also placed a large number of bees on a board that rested in front of her waist. Angelina stood perfectly still, covered in bees for 18 minutes without a sting. Being around bees is always an experience that leaves me in awe. I think this shoot was also an awe-inspiring event for all who were present- and our offering for World Bee Day has its own roots in photographic history,” he added.
