In Candyman, the scene where Tony Todd had bees flying out of his mouth were REAL BEES. Todd only agreed to do the scene if they pay him $1000 for every bee sting. He earned $27,000 for that scene (files.catbox.moe)

The words of either someone immensely privileged or deathly allergic to bees.

Has enough money to say no == immensely privileged apparently

I'm neither of those things, but I think I'm partially allergic to them. Last time I got stung by a bee in my foot, it swelled up so bad I couldn't get a shoe on, and it was intensely painful. I have a high pain threshold, and it fucking hurt, bad. What's weird is that I don't have the same reaction to yellow jacket stings. Possibly because they inject less venom, but idk.
