Morgan Freeman is 77 years old and has decided to become a beekeeper. He is concerned that the honeybees are dying off, so he has taken on two hives of bees at his home in Mississippi to help save the honeybee.
"There's a concerted effort to bring bees back onto the planet ... We do not realize that they are the foundation, I think, of the growth of the planet, the vegetation... I have so many flowering things and I have a gardener too. Because she takes care of the bees too, all she does is figure out, 'OK, what would they like to have?', so we've got acres and acres of clover, we're planting stuff like lavender, I've got like, maybe 140 magnolia trees, big blossoms," he adds.
In the video below, he talks about how he does not use a beekeeping suit and that he has never been stung. He says he does not wear it because he’s just feeding them (the clip starts at the 2:15 minute mark).
