A beekeeper named Erika Thompson from Austin, Texas, has gone viral this week for the unbelievably calm manner in which she removed a colony of bees wearing no protection whatsoever and not getting stung even one single time.

In a word – NOPE:

Unreal. How is it that Erika can deal with thousands of bees like this without getting stung and the rest of us get 3 stings to the hand just eating an ice cream in the park? If I’m within 20 feet of a bee I start freaking out to the point that I look clinically insane. Does Erika just have the magic touch or do bees just sense that the rest of us are arseholes who deserve to be stung?
I don’t know but I’m picking up serious Catwoman/Poison Ivy vibes from her so maybe it’s for the best she never gets stung. Very impressive stuff though either way.
