General News of Saturday, 23 December 2023Source: www.ghanaweb.comTamirat Getachew a resident of Asosa has left his fellow Ethoiapians astonished with his unique ability of befriending honey bees. In a display that defies common caution, Tamirat fearlessly allows swarms of bees to envelop his bare chest and head, all without wearing any protective gear. "I have a special ability to put bees on myself without covering my lips and ears," he adds. Over time, it has become clear that he shares a special bond with honey bees, a connection that sets him apart in a neighborhood where bee farmers typically harvest honey at night to avoid stings. This practice is particularly common in rural parts of Ethiopia, where bee stings have been shown to be potentially lethal.
