Doctors in Taiwan have removed four bees from a patients eye. The 29-year-old patient went to Fooyin University Hospital last month because of severe pain in that eye. Doctors discovered the tiny bees feeding off the moisture in her tear ducts, according to Business Insider Singapore.

“Under the microscope, I slowly pulled them out, one after another,” ophthalmologist Dr. Hung Chi-ting said at a press conference last week.

The bees that Hung removed were alive. They are colloquially known as sweat bees because they feed on sweat and tears from humans and animals, but they rarely sting. Hung said the patient’s contact lenses may have saved her vision.

“She was wearing contact lenses so she didn’t dare to rub her eyes in case she broke the lens,” he told the BBC. “If she did, she could have induced the bees to produce venom. … She could have gone blind

Those bees have great taste. I also drink the sweet and delicious tears of my enemies instead of orange juice for breakfast.

A Taiwanese woman was seen walking in an unusual manner at a customs checkpoint on the island of Kinmen after returning from a visit to China. The passenger was pulled to the side for questioning where officials discovered the reason for her funny walk. Individually wrapped in bags were 24 gerbils, strapped to the woman’s legs and covered by a skirt.

She told the officers that she was smuggling the little furry creatures for a friend and purchased them in a pet store in China, but police believe she has been sent by a criminal organization to test security procedures at the port.

I personally believe that it is part of the new gerbil leg warmer fashion that has been conquering the world by storm recently, while my friend thinks they were smuggled because of the Viagra-like effect tea made from gerbil feces has. Gerbil shit tea. Another opinion is that they were supposed to be further trafficked to Thailand and forced to work as tiny gerbil prostitutes.

Whatever the reason is, it did not end well for them. The poor little things had to be euthanized.
