10 Hard Rock Musicians With The Most Endearing Hobbies

Even gods among men need a break every now and again. Regardless of how many notes that he can play and guitar techniques he can use, people like Steve Vai are not going to be able to play the six string for 24 hours a day every single day. So where do you go from there? Well, just walk outside and get familiar with nature.

During his time off the road, Steve has actually turned in some serious time working as a beekeeper, wearing the full protective getup and cultivating honey from the hives that he has. Considering this was a man who had previously worked with Frank Zappa, it's not surprising that he would turn in time working in such a different field than he started in. The guitar may be one thing, but it's not going to define him if he has anything to say about it.

There are also some pictures online that show Steve in full bee regalia talking to schoolchildren about the importance of beekeeping and how to protect yourself when interacting with them. For as much as he might sound like a total badass on a song like Bad Horsy, having something like this to fall back on is one of the most wholesome things ever conceived.
