Juan Carlos Noguez Ortiz has no fear of bees, and on
Wednesday in Toronto he proved it by setting a new Guinness world record.
Ortiz, an employee at Dickey Bee Honey Farm in Cookstown,
wore a bee beard for 61 minutes on the nose in front of a crowd at Yonge-Dundas
Square, beating the previous record of 53 minutes, 34 seconds.
Ortiz told CBC Toronto he practised the stunt only twice
before the official attempt.
"I wanted to show people that they don't have to be
scared of the bees," said Ortiz.
eter Dickey, the master beekeeper at Dickey Bee Honey
Farm, provided the bees for the stunt.
"We brought 100,000 bees with us, so there are more
bees with us today than ever. But we brought the gentle ones so that is very
important when we are doing bearding," Dickey said.
