Whatever you do, DO NOT ever try this for yourself.

Watch this woman perform her "Bee Dance."

This is Sara Mapelli. She's a "Transparent Body Energy Healer."

She might sound like a stereotypical new-age pseudoscientist, but her practice is actually really cool. She attempts to heal people's body energies (still not 100% clear on what that means) by dancing in a "bee suit," and it's an awesome display of bravery and it's undoubtedly very spiritual.

Before the Bee Dance, a number of steps have to take place. First: locating the queen of the bee hive.

Next, Mapelli has the queen placed around her neck in what she calls a "spaceship."

The queen's pheromones cause the other bees to swarm Mapelli, creating a "bee suit" for her to dance in.

The swarm commences, and the dance begins soon after.

This is Mapelli's fourth time doing the Bee Dance.

Hopefully there will be more to come.

For Mapelli, "wearing the bees is about communing with another species."

Mapelli frequently talks with people about their fear of bees. By wearing the bees and dancing with them, she sees herself as helping those people to remove their fear of nature. Though perhaps sometimes a healthy fear of nature isn't a bad thing.

There are around 12,000 bees coating Mapelli's body as she does the dance.

According to Mapelli, "it's a little uncomfortable," which might be a bit of an understatement. She has to work hard to stay calm, and the bees are supposedly quite loud. While some of us may not fully understand her reasoning for doing the Bee Dance, it's pretty cool and takes a lot of bravery to do. So congrats, Sara Mapelli. Keep it up.
