In Candyman, the scene where Tony Todd had bees flying out of his mouth were REAL BEES. Todd only agreed to do the scene if they pay him $1000 for every bee sting. He earned $27,000 for that scene (files.catbox.moe)

Why did they sting him?

Have you ever put a large amount of bees in your mouth? I haven't personally, but I can't imagine the bees wouldn't take too kindly to it.

To earn him $1000, of course.

He gave them a cut of the money.

Because it was in their nature :(

when reached for comment, one source close to one of the bees said "you knew he was a bee when you put him in your mouth". they asked to remain anonymous in this grieving time.
