‘He’s buzzing in there’: Canadian politician swallows bee during live press conference
A Canadian politician accidentally swallowed a bee during a press conference in Dundalk, Ontario, on Friday, August 12.
The bee was seen buzzing near Doug Ford’s mouth while he was in the middle of answering a question on health care.
Seconds later it flew inside his mouth where he began immediately choking.
“What was that?” he asked, before adding: “I just swallowed a bee.”
“I’m good. He’s down here buzzing around right now,” Ford jokingly said, pointing at his stomach.
“He has a lot of real estate.”
