David Beckham takes his mind off family feud as he gushes over his love for beekeeping in sweet post to celebrate World Honey Bee Day
The former England footballer, 50, has a profound interest in the insects, and even launched his own honey-based snack business in recent years.
To mark the special day, he took to Instagram to share a post with his followers to acknowledge the event.
A video saw David pouring some fresh homemade honey from his beehive in the garden - something he set up in 2020.
David smiled as he showed off the delicious jar full, which said 'Golden Beez' on it.
He also made sure to plug his brand, Bee Up, in the post too. Bee Up is sold in Target and offers a range of healthy snacks for kids.
Alongside the post, he shared: 'Today we celebrate our beeeeeezzz. From owning my first hive at home in 2020, to starting my own honey-based snack business.
'I've learnt so much about the health benefits of our honey-bees. Happy World Honey-Bee Day.'
He was met with lovely comments about his excitement for World Honey Bee Day, including one from TV presenter Matt Baker, who wrote: 'Let's get you on Countryfile.'
His excitement for the special day comes after his ongoing feud with his estranged son Brooklyn and his daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz.
Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, said 'I do' for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family, with the Beckham clan notably absent.
David and wife Victoria, 51, and his brothers Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and sister Harper, 14, were nowhere in sight at the second wedding.
Brooklyn's grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading it online.
Insiders previously told Daily Mail that Brooklyn's parents are concerned his wife Nicola holds disproportionate sway in her marriage to their son.
They said: 'They think Nicola is a bit of a horror but she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Nicola loves having Brooklyn at her side and she loves him very much. But he is also very useful.
'The wider Beckham family and Brooklyn's friends – many of whom he no longer sees – take the view that he does what Nicola wants. From Beckhams' point of view, it's not nice to watch.'
Brooklyn and Nicola's vow renewal was a glamorous affair packed with family, fashion and friends earlier this month.
As more pictures of both the big day and the after-party come to light, it is becoming increasingly more apparent that the festivities were fairly one-sided - with most of the guestlist comprising Brooklyn's post-Nicola peers and pals.
The lack of Brooklyn's side sparked widespread chat on social media, including comments from fans who likened their relationship to that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - after the royal turned his back on his family and moved to the US.
When Brooklyn and Nicola first tied the knot in 2022, they hosted a three-day Palm Beach extravaganza, which saw 500 guests party in no-expense-spared marquees in front of the ocean - where both families stood front and centre .
Fast-forward three years and the change is remarkable, with no sign of the Beckham parents or the siblings Brooklyn held so close to his heart.
In their place is the entirety of the Peltz clan - with Nicola's mother Claudia, 70, and her father Nelson, 83, holding all-star roles on the day.
At the 2022 festivities, during the Hora - also known as the Jewish wedding chair dance - where the bride and groom are lifted on chairs while guests dance around them in a circle, David was also lifted up on a seat.
Brooklyn's brothers acted as his Dior-clad groomsmen at the event although their positions have officially been occupied by the in-laws.
Nicola has six brothers, all of whom Brooklyn is fond however he is very close to her brother Diesel, who introduced him to his bride.
As well as swapping siblings, it has also been revealed that Brooklyn has shunned some of his old friends - as illustrated by his wedding pictures.

Mark Chapman opens with quip as Match of the Day begins life after Gary Lineker
Mark Chapman opened with a joke as he introduced the first Saturday night Match of the Day since Gary Lineker 's departure from the show. Chapman is one of three new presenters on the BBC 's Saturday night highlights show, rotating with Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan, and was first up in the chair at the start of the new season. Introducing the show, Chapman said: 'The Premier League is back and Match of the Day is back. You may have seen and heard there's a big change to the show this season, and that is that Wayne Rooney has joined is us as a regular pundit. 'Some things don't change though, and Alan (Shearer) is still here.' Former England captain Rooney, 39, has joined the show after leaving his most recent spell in management at Plymouth back in December. Chapman, 51, has previously hosted Match of the Day when Lineker was unavailable, and was the regular host of the Sunday show, Match of the Day 2. From this season, the Sunday highlights, as well as the new Champions League highlights show, will all be known as Match of the Day. On Wednesday, Cates hosted a programme to preview the new Premier League season alongside Rooney, Danny Murphy and Julien Laurens. Logan is due to host Match of the Day's Sunday night programme this week. Lineker's final show came at the end of last season on 26 May in a long-planned move. The 64-year-old had planned to front the BBC's live coverage of the FA Cup and 2026 World Cup, but brought forward his departure following a social media row in which he shared a post about Zionism featuring a depiction of a rat, historically used as an antisemitic trope. Lineker, the BBC's highest-paid presenter and host of Match of the Day since 1999, apologised unreservedly for the post but said it was 'best for all concerned' if he left completely.

Woman shocks in extremely skimpy two-piece outfit & stunning long legs – but you'll never guess her age
A GLAM 60-year-old mum has stunned people with a ''shallow and awful'' outfit she rocked whilst everyone else was bracing for rain in coats and umbrellas. Stylish Sue Giers, from Hamburg, Germany, previously confessed that trolls tell her to 'dress her age' and call her a 'granny' - but she loves wearing everything from hot pants to stilettos. 2 The blonde beauty is no stranger to causing a stir with her daring outfits online - and one of the latest ensembles is no exception. In the now-viral clip, which appears to have been shot on a chillier day, the bombshell proudly flaunted her toned body in a skimpy two-piece in public. The business owner looked phenomenal, wearing a floral two-piece and showing off her never-ending slim legs in sky-high strappy heels. Sue, who previously confessed that being ''basic'' is not in her ''DNA'' - strutted around, as she gave the viewers and strangers on the street a look at her daring outfit. The show-stopper of a two-piece featured a low-cut back, as well as strappy detailing paired with a figure-hugging mini skirt. Meanwhile, while Sue was dressed for sizzling hot weather, it appears that the temperatures that day were not as high - as everyone else in the background was keeping cosy with coats and long-sleeve jumpers, carrying umbrellas. But while Sue was clearly feeling herself, the comment section was divided - with many dubbing the stylish mum ''an attention seeker' '. Another agreed, writing: ''Put some clothes on. I don't care how old you are.'' ''That outfit is awful,'' one of the 1.9million viewers shared their brutal verdict. Woman shocks with outfit that shows 'zero class' as she walks down the beach promenade with one butt cheek fully out ''That is not hot. And even if it were, the shallowness of that is unbecoming. Let's be better,'' someone else urged. Luckily for the German fashionista, it wasn't all negative - as there were also plenty of fans hitting back at the keyboard warriors. ''She's just existing loudly in a world that tells women to shrink as they age,'' wrote one Instagram user. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. ''And the fact that so many of you see that and respond with hate? That's not about her - that's your own fear talking.'' Another echoed, writing: ''she looks great, deserves to feel confident and is trying to inspire other women her age to do so. do better girls.'' For Sue, however, it's more than just about clothes - it's also a reflection of how far she's come. The mum wrote previously said: ''These pieces aren't just fabric: they're a celebration of the journey that brought me here. ''From moments of uncertainty to moments of pure confidence, my style reflects the courage to embrace every stage of life with grace and authenticity. ''I hope to inspire others to redefine ageing and beauty, showing that true style knows no age. ''Let's continue to empower each other to boldly express ourselves and live life to the fullest!'' Sue reminded in the uplifting post.

Wayne Rooney cuts a tired figure as he heads home after viewers shared their verdict on his debut as a Match Of The Day regular
He made his long-awaited debut on Saturday's Match Of The Day after landing a reported £800,000 deal. And Wayne Rooney certainly cut a tired figure as he headed home in the early hours after making his first appearance in the long-running BBC show. The former England and Manchester United star, 39, joined host Mark Chapman on the first show of the new-look show as the new Premier League season kicked off this weekend. Wayne cut a casual figure as he left the BBC studios to make his way home, with viewers quick to share their thoughts on his first appearance on social media. Following Gary Lineker 's well-publicised departure in May, Mark Chapman presented the first edition of the new-look highlights programme, and will share the hot seat with Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan. Rooney, who signed a bumper £800,000 deal with the BBC and was pictured in good spirits arriving at the studio, was the target of particular criticism. The former England and Manchester United star joined host Mark Chapman on the first show of the new-look show as the new Premier League season kicked off this weekend One user said: 'I'm going to say this now as it will be said all season; I mean no offence to him personally, but having Wayne Rooney on MOTD is a big mistake.' Another was underwhelmed with the standard of the post-match discussions, saying: 'Rooney's punditry makes me nostalgic for the mute button. 'Great player, dreadful analysis.' Chapman, viewed as a safe pair of hands to begin the transition away from Gary Lineker's lengthy era, was largely praised after his first appearance of the season. Posts included: 'My goodness, what an upgrade in presenter; 'Mark Chapman is the best in the business.' However, not everyone was on board with the show sticking to its usual format. They said: 'Rather than an exciting new #MOTD format, much as I like Mark Chapman, this just looks like a Sunday night;' 'Not the same without Lineker;' Chapman began the show with a cheeky joke at Rooney's expense. During the opening segment, he alluded to the changes on the panel, but instead of speaking about Lineker's departure, he referenced the addition of Rooney. Chapman said: 'Evening. The Premier League is back and Match of the Day is back. You may have seen and heard that there is a big change to the show this season and that is Wayne Rooney has joined us as a regular pundit. 'Some things don't change, though. Alan [Shearer] is still here.' Following his sacking by Plymouth Argyle on New Year's Eve last year, Rooney has stepped into the world of punditry. He is believed to have signed a lucrative deal worth around £800,000 a year to join Match of the Day.
