In a clip, that has now been viewed seven million times, the bee goes to fly off, but continues to return, sitting on Everest’s lip.
At one point, it even crawls across her face.
Everest, of Los Angeles, California, US, often experiences bees landing on her.
“When I see a bee, I pray it lands on me and they often do,” Everest told What’s The Jam.
“I find them to be magical and gentle creatures who will show you love and respect, if you offer them the same.
“For some, the initial instinct when a bee enters their vicinity is to scream, swat, or run away.
“I know some of the fear people possess for bees is justified in some circumstances but I think overall they’re quite misunderstood.”
Many people online were shocked that Everest allowed the bee to get so close to her, but she didn’t want to waste such a special opportunity.
She believes that the bee was thirsty, which is why it came so close to the inside of her mouth.
Everest said: “To close my mouth and deny the experience felt like it would be such a waste of a cool opportunity.”
“Besides, not many people can say they let a thirsty bee drink from their mouth.
“That being said, I did go inside and fetch her a bottle cap of water after I cut the camera.
“If anything, I hope this video can inspire more people to remain curious and open-minded to the world around them.”
The video has attracted over 27,000 comments so far.
