Bold & Beautiful’s Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Shares a Video of Son Rise and His New Friend That May ‘Bee’ the Cutest Thing You See All Day
Tuesday, November 15th, 2022
Kids can make playmates with even the smallest, sometimes scariest, creatures.
They can often be seen as scary little insects with a big sting but we’ve been reminded for years that bees are crucial to the environment. Not only do they help with the growth of trees, plants and flowers, they provide food for other creatures and add to the ecosystem so everyone can coexist. Well, there’s something else they do too…

They become our friends…
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy) posted the most adorable video of her oldest son Rise, who called out, “Mommy, mommy, I saved a bee.” He then showed her the little bee that was crawling on his hand and explained, “His name is Billy… he was on the floor, he couldn’t find his home.”
Now if that doesn’t just melt your heart! Kids have no fear and this just proves if you’re gentle enough, sometimes even the scariest things will surprise you by being gentle right back.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen someone from the CBS soap fave’s family make friends with a bee. Last month, Wood herself shared a photo of a bee on her nose and made it clear that, “no, this is not a fake bee.” She went on to say how much she loves bees and learned from her mother at a young age why bees are so important.

And seeing that love passed down to her children… “The best tool against fear is education,” Wood stated. “By learning about bees, children can begin to understand that these tiny creatures are much more than buzzing, stinging insects.”
So, we can all learn a lesson here from little Rise… next time we hear a bee buzzing by, don’t get scared, just take a second to watch where it lands and witness for yourself how they make the world a better place.
Before you go, look back at some of Wood’s most fabulous photo shoots in the gallery below.

<p>Still in her earliest days at <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>, Wood began to show a hint of the trademark edge we have come to associate with the character of Steffy. Note the black and the heels. Not <em>quite</em> as innocent as the first shoot.</p>

<p>Not yet the fashion queen she would later become as a CEO at Forrester Creations, Wood posed as Steffy in a fun outfit that tipped its hat — or should we say necklace — to the fresh California teen style of the day.</p>

<p>When Steffy moved on from Marcus to set her sights on Rick, we got our first look at the vixen side of the character, which we would come to know and love. Jacqueline Wood’s hair went from light and sun-kissed to dark brunette and sexy poses were struck.</p>

<p>We’re used to seeing Steffy Forrester in swimsuits being the California girl that she is, but this shoot by photographer Ray Christian in 2009 took things to a unique level. Wood went from sexy poolside vibes to teeny-weeny string bikini to furturistic and edgy as she morphed from one type of fashionista to another.</p>

<p>Jacqueline MacInnes Wood posed in this royal blue number right around the time that Steffy turned her attentions to a new young man. Remember Oliver? He was the object of Hope’s affections, and Steffy’s interest in him kicked off a new generation rivalry.</p>

<p>Who could forget this sultry fantasy office shoot?

<p>Of course, things in Cabo didn’t go exacty swimmingly for Steffy, who wound up hospitalized after an accident involving an ATV.
