Local News Reporter's Bee Chase Goes Viral

Milwaukee news reporter Elaine Rojas-Castillo was preparing a live report for Milwaukee's TMJ4 News earlier this week when she gave chase to a bee, bobbing and weaving out of the frame while her cameraperson (gleefully, apparently) rolled tape.

In the 34 second clip that's making the rounds, Rojas-Castillo is seen rehearsing for a live shot when she sees a bee. "Oh Jesus," she says while backing up to avoid the bee, which proceeds to chase her in and out of the shot for a hilariously long time.

"I've never been stung before, so..." she explains after successfully evading the bee, adding "if you recorded that, I hate you. You did, didn't you? The whole thing, huh? The whole thing, yep."

Clearly she found it funny herself, as she later tweeted out the clip with the caption "I think it's safe to say... I don't like bees."

Considering how things went down last month for Ontario Premier Doug Ford, she may have had the right idea. The only things worse than being stung by a bee on live TV? Swallowing one.
