To build his ‘beard of bees’ he uses bee hormones to attract the insects reports Reuters. “To attract the insects he has a box housing their queen’s hormones strapped to his chin,” the report says.

The report adds that he remembers a Canadian model’s ‘Bikini of Bees’ he once witnessed at a beekeeping event—as an initiative to “educate Egyptians on the usefulness of bees.” Talking about the helpfulness of bees, Hagras says, “One the contrary, they are helpful and produce things that help humans and agriculture.”

For the bee hormone, Hagras extract it from a queen bee after its death and attract bees from the same hive which lost its queen. He also adds that he uses the same method to form a new hive for the bees.

“He uses the “Beard of Bees” at contests and exhibitions where like-minded people try to break world records. The current holder is a Chinese beekeeper who in 2015 covered his entire body with over a million bees, a combined weight of almost 110 kg,” the report says.

As of now, we knew bee wax was a perfect partner to style your whiskers and take care, but now even bee hormones are not left outside in the beard game.
