He may be used to standing down dinosaurs in Jurassic World and all kinds of baddies in the MCU, but Chris Pratt is no match for a hive of bees. The 43-year-old actor took to Instagram in a funny video wearing shades and talking about how he follows Texas-based beekeeper Erika Thompson on social media, calling her "so cool and brave."

"She goes in front of these hives and bees and says, 'They're very calm today. I'm going to remove the bee. I'm going to use my bare hands,'" Pratt says of Thompson, who regularly handles bee hives without protective gear.

The Marvel star said that watching the clips "built up this false sense of security in me," and noted that he was recently near a hive and decided to try to move it on his own. 

"I just stared at these bees and then one of them come out and it stung me in the eyeball," Pratt says, removing his sunglasses to show off his swollen left eye. "So, anyways, f**k that bee lady."

The father of three tagged Thompson in the caption, writing, "@texasbeeworks you inspire me! But for real tho…"

Thompson replied in the comments section, referencing Pratt's upcoming role in The Super Mario Bros. Movie as Mario. 

"Wait—so now you’re going to be a plumber and a beekeeper @prattprattpratt?! If you leave saving the bees to me and other professionals, you can focus on saving the Princess, Mario," she wrote.
