From November 1940:
Carole Lombard reported on the “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” set with a huge bump on the nose and a lump on the ear, result of a Mr. and Mrs. fishing trip (Gable’s the Mr.) with two bees practically eating her up. Gable sends her a pound of honey a day, as a gag.

Even bees knew Lombard was a honey. 🙂
Speaking of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” while making the film, Carole gave some career encouragement to her co-star’s daughter, paving the way for some “bewitching” success many years later: http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/529450.html

Marvelous title! Nothing like Carole Lombard + what I think is one of the funniest words in English (“bee”) to catch my interest in a story! Poor Carole, I hope the bees didn’t hurt her too badly.
