Doug Ford Accidentally Swallowed A Bee & It Was 'Buzzing Around' Inside Him (VIDEO)
"Man, he went right down the hatch."
Premier Doug Ford. Right: A bumblebee.
Yes, you read that right. Premier Doug Ford just swallowed a bee on live camera, and it really set today's press conference a buzz.
At Dundalk, Ontario, the premier abruptly choked mid-sentence when answering a question about the province's pressing health care concerns.

Ford took a sip of water, and the bee, at least according to the premier, was still flying around inside.
When asked if he was okay, the premier responded: "I'm good he's down here buzzing around right now." Sheesh.
Then, the premier poked fun at himself with a massive grin on his face.
"Now if that wasn't the clip!"
The premier then started laughing at how much of a "good one" this was, and that he couldn't wait to rewatch the video later at home.
"I can't even remember what we were talking about. I'll be rushing to the hospital getting this bee out of here," Ford said.
Naturally, the Internet was buzzing with reactions.
