Bee-autiful Maternal Moments
One mom had the most unique and possibly dangerous maternity photos ever – posing with a swarm of bees. Emily Mueller is a mom of three, beekeeper and owner of Mueller Honey Bee and Rescue. Obviously, due to her occupation, Emily decided to have quite the unorthodox maternity shoot. She posed with over 20,000 bees on her baby belly. Emily hoped that the shoot would also be informative for people about the true nature of bees.
Along with photographer Kendrah Damis and her local Parks and Recreation department, Emily was able to acquire a swarm of bees and judged whether or not they were aggressive, luckily they were not. She then took them home and before the shoot fed them sugar water which apparently prevents them from being able to sting. Emily said, “People feel like I’m endangering my child, but it’s due to a lack of education on honeybees — they don’t understand how gentle they really are.”
