And this is what they are doing in New Zealand to pass the time these days.
Look, I’m not a fan of bees, which is why I make my way away from them anytime one is near. But I also know how incredibly important they are to us. With that said, I’m going to assume they didn’t feel so important when a beekeeper decided to put his bare ass on a hive.
Jamie Granger was challenged by his friend Aurel Braguta to drop his pants and sit on a hive for $1000. Oh, and the 27-year-old beekeeper was able to stay on the hive for 30 seconds. Let’s first check out the video below of this genius on the farm in Rural Matamata sitting on a hive.
Fellas, grabbing a beer and watching a game is also a good way to entertain yourselves.
Here’s what Granger had to say about his experience.
“It wasn’t pleasant but it was certainly amusing. As you can imagine your a**e swells up. It was just a spur of the moment thing and he offered me a thousand bucks – I was like ‘well a thousand bucks’, that sounds good. When my partner Lauren found out we both had a bit of a laugh. And when she found out I’d got a thousand bucks she said to me – ‘well that could pay for the wedding.’ But she was just cracking up. One thousand bucks for 30 seconds is the easiest money I’ve ever earned.”
And these friends are used to doing insane things. Here’s what else Granger had to say.
“Aurel is an arrogant bastard and makes bets on the spur of the moment. Like he once gave me 500 bucks to eat a slug. Naturally when bees sting you they die. But it’s near the end of the season and a lot die off anyway. There is no harm in what we do – we care about the bees and the job is important to us.”
But it seems like Granger is used to bites from a bee obviously.
“You can never prevent being stung. It hurts every time and you don’t get used to it. You just learn to expect it. Not everyone can try to do that – especially not if you’re allergic to bee stings. Your butt may swell and you can’t go to the toilet afterwards.”
Well, at least Granger’s girlfriend knows that he isn’t cheating on her when he goes out, he’s just sitting on bees.
