Watched a bee beard demo at the county fair — how it actually works, and would you ever?

Took the kids to the county fair yesterday and the local association did a bee beard demo. Fascinating and slightly unhinged. For anyone who's wondered how it works: it's not bravery, it's biology — the demonstrator had a caged queen tied under his chin, and a few pounds of young bees from a gentle colony were poured onto his chest. They climbed up and clustered on the queen's pheromone exactly like a swarm on a branch. Nose plugs, tucked-in shirt, vaseline line above the collar to mark the boundary, and a partner with a bee brush standing by. He said swarm-state bees are gorged and have nothing to defend, so stings are rare — he took one, on the ear, and didn't flinch. Crowd loved it and three people took membership flyers, so as outreach it clearly works. My question for the room: would you ever? I keep going back and forth between 'great ambassador moment' and 'unnecessary risk that makes us look like daredevils.'
