WE DON’T WANT to alarm anyone, but giant bees are a very real and present danger.

How do we know? Well, meteorologist Jennifer Ketchmark from Fox 59 News in the US had an unfortunate run-in with one live on air.

OK, so the world isn’t being overrun by giant bees – this lad is actually a normal-sized bee magnified to horrific proportions by the camera.

Luckily Jennifer is a sport, so she was able to joke about the terrible ‘attack’ moments after on Twitter. Thank god for that.

I did not like this bug surprising me during live weather. @FanchonStinger and @DanSpehler had me laughing so hard! pic.twitter.com/6W0iEDpK41
