Hollywood star actress Angelina Jolie posed for National Geographic to help create awareness of the plight of the critters by being photographed while her upper body was wrapped in a swarm on World Bee Day, as she shared the astonishing lengths she took in order to capture the breathtaking shot.
The breathtaking shot was photographed by amateur beekeeper Dan Winters and portrayed the actress in natural light.
The ex-wife of actor Brad Pitt was wearing minimal make-up with her hair tied back, revealing her fresh-faced complexion.

With her shoulders bare, the mum-of-six stared straight into the camera as the insects crawled over her face, neck, shoulders and chest.
Appearing calm, the star told the magazine that it “felt lovely to be connected to these beautiful creatures.”
However, the star revealed that a lot of planning went into capturing the shot, as she was told not to shower for three days before the photoshoot.
Experts warned the acting legend that too many scents could confuse the insects.
Angelina said:
She continued to describe that she had blocked several orifices to stop bees wandering too far around her body.
However, despite her best efforts, the star did have one insect that spent the entire shoot in an awkward place.
Angelina continued:
Thankfully the critter left the actress unharmed for the duration of the photo shoot.
The Salt star was given the position of “godmother” for Women for Bees.
The program was launched by the United Nations’ UNESCO to train and support female beekeeper-entrepreneurs around the world.
The ambassador went on to say she felt “honoured” and “lucky” to have taken part in the photoshoot.
Elsewhere, the Maleficent actress opened up about why she hasn’t directed any films as of late, putting it down to a change in her family situation surrounding her split from ex Brad.
