"They knew her back when she was just a regular bee.

They were in Columbus, Miss., at the time, having just finished a pleasant dinner at drummer Glen Graham’s family home. As images go, it seemed harmless enough — just an old snapshot of Graham’s sister Georgia taken before some long-ago school play.

“We were all sitting around in the living room,” recalls Shannon Hoon, Blind Melon’s vocalist, “and that picture just jumped out at us. Someone jokingly said, ‘That would make a great album cover.’ “

It seemed like a good idea at the time. She was cute and and perky — charming even. She knew her place. Didn’t try to hog the spotlight. Didn’t go around flipping her tutu at every Tom, Dick and Harry. For a while, she served Blind Melon well.

But that was before the band brought her to life in the video for its second single, “No Rain.” In mid-June, when MTV put the sunny, happy-go-lucky clip directed by Sam Bayer (Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”) into Buzz Bin rotation, the Bee Girl became a star. She also became a colossal pain in the ass.

Thanks in no small part to Heather DeLoach, the 10-year-old actress who portrayed her in the video and has since parlayed the role into an extended world tour, the Bee Girl has developed an alarming cult following. She’s also been packing a serious ‘tude — flitting around with an entourage, signing autographs and hobnobbing with the heavy hitters. (“I heard she was hanging out with Madonna at the MTV Awards,” reports Hoon.) Of course, Blind Melon haven’t made out too shabbily in all of this. Their debut album, Blind Melon, had been in stores for nine months when MTV began airing the “No Rain” video; after its release in September 1992, the album had hovered for a time on Billboard‘s Heatseekers chart but failed to gather further steam. When “No Rain” began getting MTV play, however, Blind Melon exploded, re-entering the charts at No. 156 and pole-vaulting to No. 3 in only seven weeks. At the time of this writing, the album is selling 109,000 copies weekly. Numbers like that would take the sting out of most any unpleasant issue, and so, despite the pleasure the band takes in ragging on the Bee Girl, most of its barbs are good-natured".
