Ex-Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster has decided to ditch the goalkeeping gloves for the beekeeping gloves in a career twist no-one saw coming!

The ex-England man is used to being a Hornet but this time it’s bees that kept him busy, as he travelled up to Cumbria to join local eBay small business Bee Beautiful in a day of apiculture and honey making.

Ben ditched his goalkeeper jersey and bicycle shorts for a beekeeping outfit. Despite being hesitant when he saw how many bees he’d be dealing with, Ben soon came into his own, putting his fine handling on display and quickly becoming the bees knees at beekeeping.


Just like Ben in his career, the beekeeping outfit did a good job but couldn’t quite keep all the bees at bay, as he was stung a couple of times, something that he definitely was not buzzing about. If Ben Foster has ever kept a clean sheet against your team, you’ll definitely want to watch him getting stung!

After the honey was made, Ben invited all the Bee Beautiful members to local club Barrow AFC to take penalties against him with a pair of his own gloves up for grabs if anyone could score past him. Two members of the business managed to smash the ball past him with the most outrageous toe punts you will ever see. 

You can watch the full video of Ben trying his hand at beekeeping below.

In addition to this, eBay funded in-stadium advertising for Bee Beautiful that will be displayed at all Barrow AFC home games. This is in support of eBay’s Small Businesses United partnership with the EFL to support small businesses and their local communities.

eBay in partnership with the EFL are supporting small businesses that help power the 72 football league clubs across the country. eBay are donating in-stadium advertising spaces such as match day hoardings, programme ads and many more to local small businesses throughout the season. This is to help these businesses to continue to thrive in their local communities. You can find out more here.
