‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star Chris Pratt has been stung in the eye by a bee. The actor admitted he had a “false sense of security” after watching videos of Texas-based beekeeper Erika Thompson, who regularly handles the creatures and their hives without protective gear.

Wearing sunglasses, he said in a video shared on his Instagram account: “So I’ve been following this bee lady on Instagram, she’s so cool and brave and she goes in front of these hives of bees and says, ‘They’re very calm today.
