We all know that Beyoncé is a woman of many talents – she’s a triple threat singer, dancer and actor, and owns clothing brand Ivy Park – but it’s come as quite the surprise to learn that Queen Bey also has a knack for beekeeping.

Yep, Beyoncé has an actual beehive. Two, in fact.

The singer has revealed she enjoys the unlikely hobby in her downtime and produces “hundreds” of jars of honey every year.

"I know it's random, but I have two beehives. Real ones," she told British Vogue.

"I've had them at my house for a while now. I have around 80,000 bees and we make hundreds of jars of honey a year."

The singer delighted fans on her 'On The Run II' tour with her husband Jay-Z, wearing her hair in a crimped style.

How did Beyoncé discover her hidden talent, we hear you ask? Well, it turns out there’s an adorable reason behind her beekeeping as she got the bees in order to help daughters Blue Ivy, eight, and three-year-old Rumi with their allergies.

She continued, “I started the beehives because my daughters, Blue and Rumi, both have terrible allergies, and honey has countless healing properties.”

Beyoncé isn’t the only famous face who enjoys a bit of beekeeping though as it was revealed earlier this year that David Beckham had plans to release his own brand of honey after taking up the hobby during lockdown.

"Beekeeping started as a fun hobby early in lockdown. But now David has become a bit obsessed,” a source told The Sun at the time.

"He has all the gear, and even built a hive. He finds it a total antidote to his mad London and Miami life."

Potential names of Becks’ brand of honey reportedly included D Bee, Seven Honey and Goldenbees.
