The clip, shared by an Esthetics Clinic in Las Vegas, features the iconic glazed doughnuts covered in bees, sparking a frenzy of reactions across the platform.
Viewers expressed their curiosity and concerns, asking one commenter, "I need a why. Is there a reason for this?" Another questioned, "How do the employees handle that every shift without losing their minds?"

Meanwhile, another user humorously noted, "My local doughnut shop had cockroaches, so I can't complain about bees."
Beekeeper Explains Why Bees Swarm Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Assures Safety Despite Concerns
Amid mounting questions about hygiene, a beekeeper stepped in to provide some much-needed clarity. In an interview with Cowboy State Daily, Cheyenne beekeeper Michael Jordan explained that the doughnuts' sugar content attracts bees. He reassured me there was no danger of bees landing on the treats but advised ensuring all bees were removed before consumption.
Regarding the safety of the staff, Jordan explained, "The bees would just move out of the way. You would only get stung if you accidentally pinched a bee between your finger and the doughnut." He further emphasized that honeybees are generally only aggressive if they perceive a direct threat to their hives. "When they’re out foraging, they’re too busy working to be bothered by people, so long as people respect them," he added.
