Touting himself as the "King of Bees" and "King of Honey," his over 149,000 followers on TikTok and 14,700 on Instagram have given his company Jar Honey's page a wide reach.

Yet, there is an important reason for his daring beard and the social media stunts.

Bees are essential to our ecosystem

The Lebanese beekeper is an advocate of sustainable living and wants to use his videos to draw attention to how important bees are for our ecosystem and the environment.

After all, they are responsible for pollinating 70% of all edible plants worldwide. Our carefully balanced ecosystem would collapse without bees, leaving us without many varieties of food, and certainly not enough of it to feed the growing population.

Through his online outreach and shocking videos, Rjeily aims to draw attention to pesticide-free agriculture and ways to help nature, while producing honey for the masses to enjoy.

With a healthy dose of adrenaline on the side.
