'Beard of Bees' For Promoting Apian Benefits!

The Egyptian is doing it for a good cause!!

This bearded man in the photo is an Egyptian, named Mohamed Hagras, age 31, and lives in Shebin EL Kom, located in the province of Al- Al-Monofyia, northeast of Cairo, Egypt.
He is famous now for his unusual beard that does not involve any body hair! It is unusual because this gentleman, who is an engineer, can grow his beard almost instantly whenever he wants.

Hope, none will be surprised or be shocked hearing that this Engineer turned beekeeper grows his unusual beard at least once in every year! He does flaunt unusual beard every year with nothing but honey bees for promotion at his farm and to participate in competition.
He says that his goal is also to tell us that bees are not aggressive at all rather they help humans and agriculture!

How does he build his “Beard of Bees”?

To build his ‘beard of bees’ he uses bee hormones to attract the insects. He does it by strapping to his chin a box that housed the hormones of insects’ queen bee. Hagras extracts the hormones from a dead queen bee and attracts bees from the same hive which lost its queen. Same method is used by him to form a new hives for the bees.


The appended photos will show us the engineer turned beekeeper at work!

Makes me wonder why some people do the strange things they do!

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

    Quoting MrsJoe:

A good question, Mrs.Joe. It also occurred to me when I first read the news item casually! Then after reading it for the second time, it transpired that this gentleman does it for various reasons. One of the reasons is to “educate Egyptians on the usefulness of bees.” As mentioned at above, this Beekeeper's goal is to tell everyone about how the bees help humans and agriculture by producing things.
Thanks again for your response. Have a nice week.
