From the Reporter-Herald photo archives: "Dave Primer of Wellington smiles as his 'bee beard' is completed. Primer sprayed his face with sugar water and tied a queen bee under his chin to attract the worker bees to cluster on his face. Primer is a member of the Northern Colorado Beekeeping Association. He said his Sunday afternoon attempt at creating a 'bee beard' was the first time he had tried the stunt." Originally published Aug. 6, 1984.
