David Beckham has offered fans a rare glimpse into his family’s £6 million Cotswolds home as he embraced his newfound passion for beekeeping. The former England footballer shared moments from his Sunday afternoon tending to the family’s bee hives on Instagram.

David’s interest in beekeeping blossomed during lockdown, leading him to construct a £500 hive in their garden. His dedication has paid off, as he has since harvested honey, even receiving royal approval. He presented a jar of his homegrown honey to King Charles during an event celebrating British fashion in May.

In a recent clip, Beckham was seen personally collecting honey, expressing his surprise at how much he has come to enjoy beekeeping: “Who would have believed that one day, raising bees for honey would become my greatest hobby?”

David shares this beautiful estate with his wife, Victoria Beckham, and their children, making it a cherished family retreat.
