Emily Mueller is the beautiful mother-to-be who shocked the internet with her unique, yet frightening maternity photos hoot idea.

The ‘Mueller Honey Bee’ is a company run by Emily and her husband. It opened its doors in 2015 with the mission to save the bees. Based in Ohio, USA, company works with various products related to this medium, such as the sale of honey.

One of the company’s job is relocating colonies and hives that appear in undesirable places. And it was the bees rescued from a park Emily used in her photographs.

The images were shot by Kendrah Damis and shared on her Facebook page.

Not around a professional. When I lived in E.Tennessee, I did a job at a bee farm, and naturally I was curious about all this. The owners told me that they almost never get stung, because the bees are docile, loving, and know them personally. Bees are smart, and if a keeper moves slowly, wears clean clothes that are very light colored, and does not radiate fear, there is no problem. This lady is wearing white, which were clean. As long as she doesn't act in an aggressive manner, she's safe. In fact, they will defend her if attacked. I learned an awful lot about these little critters in that week at the bee farm, and I have had many honey bees land on me and feel comfortable. If you don't threaten their nest, and act calmly, whats to worry about? Besides, I'll bet she is completely immune to bee venom.

If she is a bee keeper or the wife or a beekeeper, I can understand this to a point. If she is an etymologist, I can understand this to a point. But as a mother who has suffered losses I think she's a crazy idiot for engaging in possibly risky behavior for the safety of her child.

I find this needlessly risky and irresponsible. You never know what's gonna happen. And how the F**K in the world you risk a baby's life for this b******t?

Not if you know what you're doing, they rescued these bees, they were helped by professionals. If you don't show aggression or try to harm them then it's fine. Holy Jesus. Bee stings won't kill a baby, if she even got stung at all.

Sorry, this is not peaceful or attractive. It's photographed only for the shock value. Wait a year + and she'll have the baby covered in bees for its 1st year photo.

Absolutely foolish and unbelievable beehaviour! Even if you know what you are doing around bees, there can still be an accident, and to risk the health of your unborn child for such a stunt is reckless.

"I know this is dangerous and statistically will go wrong putting not only myself but my unborn child in danger, but I'm GONNA LOOK SO PRETTY!" And if the bees stung her, if would be the bees fault in her opinion - she wouldn't understand how the bees could DO that to her. Narcissistic AF.

To all of you concerned for her and the child's safety. I read on a different source that these bees were fed with sugar, or something like that, to make sure they are full so it becomes physically impossible to sting. But even without that little detail, she's a pro and this whole photo session was handled by bee professionals, so I believe they know the tricks to do this safely.

So...they force fed the bees so someone could feel pretty? Or maybe I'm assuming the bees were force fed? Not sure if I'm overreacting here, but overfeeding someone to change it's mood or emotional state for your own benefits is just cruel. Then again, could totally be misunderstanding.
