| Sara Mapelli of Oregon meditating in her "bee blouse" |
I'm currently rereading Daymon Smith's Words of the Faithful. One of the main characters, Izilba, is introduced as someone who used to "drape herself naked in a cloak of honey bees." This rather extraordinary behavior of hers is mentioned just once in passing and never explained. Its strangeness, together with the fact that it is one of the first things we learn about Izilba, makes it very memorable, and even though the cloak of honeybees plays no role in the rest of the story, it's still the first image that comes to mind when I think of Izilba.
Today, one of my very young students somehow managed to misspell dress as bee.

When I saw the title, I guessed you would depict the unintentionally funny "Not the bees!" episode - which was an out-take from The Wicker Man remake starring Nicholas Cage (a movie that nobody ever watches):
