Egyptian man grows 'Beard of Bees', hopes to promote apian benefits

Mohamed Hagras stands barechested as dozens of honeybees congregate around his face, eventually forming what he calls the "Beard of Bees".

To attract the insects he has a box housing their queen's hormones strapped to his chin.

The 31-year-old engineer-turned-beekeeper has been doing this for years both competitively he fondly recalls a Canadian model's "Bikini of Bees" at a beekeeping event and as an effort to educate Egyptians on the usefulness of bees.
