Bees are known to be intelligent and social creatures, despite this, many people are afraid of bee attacks and their painful stings.

However, beekeeper Emily Muller has never had a fear of bees – she loves these little creatures and has kept them since her father bought her a bee hive as a child.

She runs the family business, Mueller Honey Bee Removal, with her husband Ryan. She even got the nickname ‘Bee Whisperer’.

When Emily became pregnant, she decided to take photos with the creatures she loved most. So she wanted to show her passion for bees, as well as share photos of her growing belly.

Unfortunately, Emily had experienced several miscarriages earlier, but this time her belly grew steadily. She contacted photographer Kendra Damis to capture beautiful pictures of her pregnancy.

Emily let the swarm of bees gather around her belly. The results were amazing – beautiful photos filled with emotions!

Unusual pictures quickly spread on social networks, and Emily became an overnight celebrity. Radiant with happiness, she posed on the grass in a white dress. Everything in the photos looks flawless and perfectly normal, except for the 20,000 bees sitting on her stomach.

To minimize their anxiety, as well as the chance of being stung, Emily made sure the bees were full and happy before filming. To lure the bees to her, Emily held a container of queen bees in her hand.

Tragedy
After the photo shoot, Emily and Ryan began to prepare for the arrival of a small family member in the house.

But in November of this year, Emily broke the news that touched the hearts of all who knew her. Unfortunately, Emily suffered another miscarriage.

‘The Lord decided he needed his own beekeeper and took our precious son, Emersin Jacob, to Heaven with him,’ Emily wrote in her Facebook post. On the Thursday before the tragic incident, Emily took care of three other children.

Then she felt contractions, but much stronger than those she had experienced before. She also noticed that the baby was moving less than usual.

‘About 2:30 I woke up with a lot of fear, because I didn’t feel the movements and pushes of the baby at all,’ says Emily.

Frightened, she woke Ryan and asked him to listen to the baby’s heartbeat. ‘We agreed that if I didn’t start feeling tremors again, we would go to the hospital in the morning.’

Many pregnant women tend to feel anxious during pregnancy, and this is nothing out of the ordinary. But Emily couldn’t get rid of her anxious thoughts.

She went to the hospital, hoping that they would tell her and Ryan that it was a false alarm. ‘I really thought that we would be sent home with a smile and told to wait a little more, because our baby was due in 6 days,’ says Emily.

I remember everything to the smallest detail
But since the nurse couldn’t find the fetal heartbeat, Emily burst into tears.

Somehow she already knew the terrible news she was to be told. The nurse could not find a heartbeat and called the doctor.

‘I remember how he came, took the gel from the hands of the nurse and began to do the ultrasound himself. Every detail of that moment is imprinted in my memory forever, and I can’t stop scrolling it over and over again,’ says Emily.

When Emily gave birth to her little angel, nothing could be done for him. The little boy who came into the big world was very handsome.

With Emily’s unique bee shots, the family wasn’t alone in their grief. Thousands of people sent their words of support and well wishes to the family, and all these messages help Emily ease the pain of a huge loss.

Now she shares her story to help others who have experienced a similar tragedy.
