Did Candyman Use Real Bees? The Shocking Truth

You’re curious about the bees in the movie Candyman, right? That scene where bees come out of Todd’s mouth as he leans in to kiss Virginia Madsen is pretty unforgettable. And yes, it’s true, 200,000 real bees were used for that moment! That’s a lot of bees!

Todd shared with Entertainment Tonight that the bees were the worst nemesis. Can you imagine being surrounded by that many bees? It must have been quite a challenge to film that scene. Imagine the amount of time and effort that went into the planning and execution of that scene. The bees had to be trained to fly in a specific way, and the actors had to stay calm and collected while being surrounded by bees. The filmmakers obviously did a lot of work to ensure the safety of everyone involved. I think it’s safe to say that this scene is one of the most memorable and talked-about moments in the Candyman film, and it’s all thanks to the bees.

It’s a testament to the dedication of the filmmakers to bring this iconic scene to life. I think it’s also a reminder that even the most seemingly impossible things can be achieved with the right amount of creativity, hard work, and a whole lot of bees.
