Jolie posed for the picture in order to bring awareness to bee protection and \u201cto a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.unesco.org\/themes\/biodiversity\/women-for-bees\">UNESCO-Guerlain<b>&nbsp;<\/b>program<\/a>&nbsp;that trains women as beekeeper-entrepreneurs and protectors of native bee habitats around the world,\u201d per National Geographic.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Discussing the experience of taking a photo while covered in bees, Jolie said, \u201cI\u2019m going to sound like my Buddhist practices, but it just felt lovely to be connected to these beautiful creatures. There\u2019s certainly a hum. You have to be really still and in your body, in the moment, which is not easy for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The photo was inspired by a famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clevelandart.org\/art\/2005.143\"><span class=\"s1\">picture<\/span><\/a> taken of a beekeeper forty years ago. Photographer Dan Winters found the same pheromone used in 1981 to get the bees to come to the beekeeper and used it for Jolie\u2019s shoot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Jolie said, \u201cIt was so funny to be in hair and makeup and wiping yourself with pheromone. We couldn\u2019t shower for three days before. Because they told me, \u2018If you have all these different scents, shampoos and perfumes and things, the bee doesn\u2019t know what you are.\u2019 [They] don\u2019t want [bees] to confuse you for a flower, I suppose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Jolie added that she had to put things in her nose and ears in order to prevent the bees from climbing inside.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Bees have been at risk of extinction in recent years due to various reasons. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ars.usda.gov\/oc\/br\/ccd\/index\/#:~:text=The%20total%20number%20of%20managed,Statistics%20Service%20(NASS)%20survey.&amp;text=Typical%20average%20annual%20losses%20jumped,22%20percent%20of%20managed%20colonies.\">According to the United States Department of Agriculture<\/a>, the total number of managed honey bee colonies was around 5 million in the 1940s. According to a 2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/downloads.usda.library.cornell.edu\/usda-esmis\/files\/rn301137d\/nc5819380\/t148g6070\/hcny0820.pdf\">report<\/a>, \u201cHoney bee colonies for operations with five or more colonies in the United States\u201d were at a total of 2.88 million colonies. This amount was up 8 percent, however, in 2020 from 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Jolie said, \u201cPollinators of course are extremely vital to our life and our environment. And so we have to understand scientifically what happens if we lose them. This is something we can work to solve.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cWhat\u2019s exciting to me is that instead of stepping forward and saying, \u2018We are losing the bees, we have certain species that have gone extinct, are going extinct,\u2019 we\u2019re coming forward to say, \u2018Yes, this is how you have to protect.\u2019 You have to be more conscious of chemicals and deforestation. But also, here are things different people can do. You don\u2019t even have to have land, but you can consider being a part of the solution. What\u2019s exciting is that we\u2019re coming at this with solutions [and] empowering women in their livelihoods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Jolie added, \u201cYoung people are so educated, so aware. They are so conscious of the problems facing the world they live in. And they\u2019re being told to buy this or do this or don\u2019t touch that or don\u2019t drive that. They\u2019re overwhelmed. So one of the things we want to do is make this possible and simple [to protect bees and biodiversity].\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Jolie went on to discuss climate change and the future, saying that her children are \u201ccertainly growing up much more informed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">She said, \u201cListen, it\u2019s down to their generation. We\u2019re at the wire. Decisions made and things that we do in the next 10, 20 years are going to make or break the way we\u2019re able to live on this planet. Sadly, they know that. That\u2019s very hard for them. I can\u2019t imagine being a little kid again. Whether the Earth will be able to exist in the same way, and whether there will be bees and pollination, was not something I was thinking about at 12 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Jolie discussed different types of women in the interview, as well, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"16\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>There are two types of bees. This is to all you women: wild and solitary or domestic and honeybee. Take a choice. The domestic honeybee is the one that makes the honey and then there\u2019s this other bee, that\u2019s the wild solitary bee th lives a very different life and does not make honey but pollinates.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>[<\/i><i>Interviewer]<\/i><i>: So which kind are you?<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>[Jolie]<\/i><i>: I feel like lately I\u2019ve been a lot of domestic honeybee, but in my heart, I\u2019m wild solitary. [Laughter]<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Jolie will join the first <\/span>10 Women for Bees to participate in a quick 30-day training with experts at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofapidologie.org\/\"><span class=\"s1\">French Observatory of Apidology<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;in Provence, where she will be trained in the skill of beekeeping, as well.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">View the photo of Jolie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/environment\/article\/bee-conservation-women-entrepreneurs-angelina-jolie?cmpid=org=ngp::mc=vanityurl::src=website::cmp=editorial::add=bees-vanity\"><span class=\"s3\">here<\/span><\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
