Democratic Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg had to deal with an unexpected distraction whilst on the campaign trail yesterday.
Mayor Pete was in Elkader, Iowa, for a town hall event. Whilst answering a question on healthcare from the audience, he noticed a bee land on his tie. And it didnt want to budge.
Whereas some people freak out around wasps and bees, Buttigieg remained calm but determined to remove the insect.
When gently flicking his tie didnt work, he slowly worked to remove it and hand it to someone who could take the bee outside.

Not allergic that I know of and haven't been stung in decades. Due to my level of terror, my adrenal glands would probably act as a built-in Epi-pen. My heart rate shoots up if I even hear one buzzing.
I admire Mayor Pete's calmness.

I think it is cute how it all played out though.
