"Oh, god." Oh, god," the man can be heard saying as the honey bees begin to swarm. "This is terrible!"

According to the uploader's description on YouTube, the keeper ended up waiting out the swarm in a nearby pond.

"I ended up jumping in a pond and waiting two hours as angry bees continued to sting my veil. I'd say I got away with 20 or 30 stings total. Always wear proper protective gear and keep your frames clear of sticky wax," he wrote.
