Meet Boneco, the world's first beekeeping donkey. He lives in Brazil and helps his owner, Manuel Juraci, make honey. Boneco also does not appear to like his beekeeping suit. But boy does he look adorable while wearing it. This isn't just a funny hobby for Juraci and Boneco, though. Beekeeping is their livelihood. In their region of Brazil, it's too arid to farm the land, so a large number of locals have turned to beekeeping and honey production to make ends meet. Juraci is actually one of 120 beekeepers in the small town of Itatira, which is in the northeastern part of the country. He's also one of the most productive thanks to Boneco and that hilariously homemade donkey-sized beekeeping suit. It makes such a difference that the Association of Honey Producers wants Juraci to make more suits for other beekeepers' donkeys. gizmodo.com/the-worlds-first-beekeeping-donkey-is-sort-of-adorable-1531667195
