Pregnant woman poses with 16,000 bees and an 8ft python

A pregnant woman has created a buzz by posing for extreme maternity photos - one while covered in 16,000 bees and another with an 8ft snake coiled around her bump. Emily Mueller, 34, painted herself gold as part of a Cleopatra-themed shoot, but instead of wearing a headdress like the Egyptian queen got bees to swarm around her face. She was stung in the eye by one of the 16,000 buzzing insects, but bravely posed again the following day holding 12,000 bees. Beekeeper Emily, who is due to give birth next month, also had a huge yellow python wrapped around her as part of a Garden of Eden-themed shoot.
