A 24-year-old Indian beekeeper, identified as Nature M.S., has made headlines for allowing 60,000 bees to completely cover his face without stinging him. According to him, these insects are his “best friends”: they don’t see him as a threat, and he remains calm in their presence.
Nature holds a Guinness World Record for keeping his head fully surrounded by bees for 4 hours, 10 minutes, and 5 seconds. He said he started doing this from a very young age, as his father, also a beekeeper, taught him to live peacefully with bees since he was seven.
For him, bees are not dangerous: any sting is his own responsibility, not the insects’. He also dreams of earning a PhD in apiculture to help protect them.
