Hope you’ve had your breakfast! Stomach-churning moment young man puts handfuls of live bees in his MOUTH
Mmm tasty: The disgusting factor didn't seem to register with this young Chinese man who was filmed throwing the buzzing insects on to his topless body and in to his mouth[CN]
嗯,人间美味:这种恶心的事对小伙子来说不算什么。有人拍到他把这帮嗡嗡嗡的昆虫抛到自己的赤裸上身,也吃进嘴里。
No fear here: A later clip shows him half-naked with a cigarette in his mouth... and once again dowsing himself in the flying critters[CN]
无所畏惧:接着还有短片显示他半裸着身子,嘴里叼着一根烟…之后他又再玩起了这些飞来飞去的“小虫子”。
Invincible: It then seems as though he is inhaling the bees as his places a handful next to his mouth[CN]
战无不胜:然后他又把一撮蜜蜂放到嘴边,又开始吃起来了。
Spluttering: After again placing them on his body he can be seen coughing as he chokes slightly on the insects inside his mouth[CN]
这把够呛:再次把蜜蜂放在身上时,嘴里吃着这些小昆虫时。他轻轻噎了一下,咳了几声。
Of all the things you might put in your mouth, live bees aren't one of them.[CN]
人们敢吃进嘴里的东西,名单上绝对没有生蜜蜂。
But the disgusting factor of this didn't seem to register with this young Chinese man who was filmed throwing the buzzing insects on to his topless body and in to his mouth. [CN]
这种恶心的事对小伙子来说不算什么。有人拍到他把这帮嗡嗡嗡的昆虫抛到自己的赤裸上身,也吃进嘴里。
The bizarre video was captured Pu'er, Yunnan Province last Wednesday.[CN]
这个奇葩视频是上周三在云南普洱拍下的。
He begins the footage wearing a denim shirt as she reaches up to grab a handful of bees from the top corner of a building.
The youth then proceeds to undo his top button and shake the bees over his neck and chest as he narrates his actions to the camera.
A later clip shows him half-naked with a cigarette in his mouth... and once again dowsing himself in the flying critters
Strangely he remains nonchalant throughout the ordeal, showing no fear or repugnance whatsoever.
It then seems as though he is inhaling the bees as his places a handful next to his mouth.
After again placing them on his body he can be seen coughing as he chokes slightly on the insects inside his mouth.
Fortunately the video ends there before the level of revulsion gets too high.
However the creatures don't appear to be stinging him so it is possible they are a harmless type of bee such as a male honeybee or bumble bee - who have no stingers, or a solitary bee - whose sting is so insignificant it cannot pierce human skin.
Most bees will not harm humans unless provoked. The most aggressive stinging insects are vespid wasps - including bald-faced hornets and other yellow jackets. All of these insects aggressively defend their nests.
So next time you have your BBQ in the garden and that one lone pesky bee is bothering you - think of this guy to help put things in perspective!
These are stingless bees called Meliponines which live in south east Asia. They can even be used to raise honey like the ordinary honey bee, Apis mellifera. Bumble bees DO have stingers by the way, and I can testify to being stung by them several times.[CN]
在东南亚有一种不蛰人的蜂 – 麦蜂。它们可以用作产蜜,跟普通的意蜂没什么区别。顺便说句,大黄蜂的确是有刺的。我被他们蛰过几次就是证据。
Bumble bees certainly DO have stingers and I have been stung by them many times when removing them from a window to put them outside. I guess these are more likely to be a stingless bee called meliponines which certainly lives in south east Asia and can be used to collect honey too.[CN]
大黄蜂的确有刺,我也被蛰过很多次。当时我把它们从窗户摘下来,放在外边。我想啊应该是有一种不带刺的蜂叫做麦蜂,它们的确生活在东南亚,也可以用来产蜜。
