Of COURSE Leo had to get in on the honey. What self respecting Syrian brown bear would miss out?

Never thought I'd see a guy doing the "here comes the airplane" routine with a BEAR!
Ya, not smart though
Or with a tower
hahahahahahahahah
It was the way the bears lips puckered up and moved in anticipation that made me chuckle.
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 hahaha that totally got me!
Leo has better table manners than a lot of people out there.
Right you are
Heck he has better table manners than my roommate
A lot better than 80 % of Americans and Russians
for sure!
@@steffenrosmus9177 Russians and Americans?
I really like how Jim kinda looks like a bear himself, he fits in with them😂
Bears: he is friend shaped
Lol that’s what I’m saying 😂
Jim is a bear.
Yaa 😃
I was just thinking the same, a bear in human form
Most amazing thing to me is an animal this size has the patience to be spoon fed and doesn’t just take the tray from him 😂
Hilarious bro 🤣
Probably been with him since was a cub and see him as a trustfull food resource like a family member i mean
😂😂😂😂
le soir, c'est lui qui fait la vaisselle, et le samedi, il lave le linge. Génial !!
he shovels it in at a reasonable rate so he doesn't get impatient.
if he dilly dallys around taking ages it would start to ''gimmie that i'll do it myself yoink'' i suspect
It’s right there but he still waits for the spoon.
Such a gentleman 🐻
That's the impressive thing. He definitely wants to eat it faster has the ability to take it if he chooses, yet doesn't. Amazing
Such a handsome lad🐻💓‼️
@@mrbranson73 Looked to me that the bear wanted to put his muzzle right in it and would have if the spoon wasn't presented first.
@@markhatfield5621 Yea he was getting closer and closer to it
Gentlebear.
I love this man. Men who care about animals have the biggest hearts.
If I was that guy I’d have done exactly the same thing ❤️

it doesn't really work like that, I'm not talking about the guy in the video but one of the traits of some sociopaths is that they love animals but hate humans because they consider animals 'innocent' while they consider people 'sinful'/'evil'
life isn't that simple, loving animals = good person, not loving animals = bad person, its not that simple
@@Ar1AnX1x What you're saying is true, but for the most part, people who hate animals do tend to not be good people...Or at least not people that others want to willingly be around. And people who go out of their way to hurt animals or to see them suffer? Worst people alive.
I admire the bear's patience, as well as the man's courage 😊❤
Anything on earth: *Has fur*

3 minutes of watching a bear eat honey is one of the most satisfying things before going to bed.
we were all waiting for the bear to maul the guy
From a SPOON!
yeah true... but your profile picture is keeping me awake
Same here...gets me in the mood for ´eating from the honeypot´
Next video will be about racism or some news channels
He is more polite than most people, love him
The bear keeps sniffing around looking for what he really wants, (and it isn't honey). When wild bears find beehives, they are looking for the brood cells, which contain the bee larvae. The larvae contain nutrition, the honey is just sugar.
In wild hives, the brood cells and honey cells are mixed throughout the hive, so the bear will ingest some honey along with the brood, but it is not their primary target. In man controlled beehives, the brood cells and the queen are segregated into the bottom box of the hive by using a queen excluder screen, so that the honey cells above are not "contaminated" with larvae cells.
We just want the honey, but the bear will knock over the hive to get at the bottom brood box. (I used to work for a beekeeper, and I've cleaned up after a bear raid.)
That is so interesting!
My whole life about bear eat honey was a lie
thanks imma impress my friends with this tidbit of a revelation
I was thinking the bear wanted to eat the guy
Thanks for the information & education
I love how we love everything furry. Giant monster that can end you in a blink of an eye... but i really really want to pet it!
Oh, God...those ears...coochie coo
Right? A snuggle sounds so warm and cozy! Lol!
Knock yourself out....along with this DMF. See ya on the other side .
Bears are not monsters. They don’t kill for fun.
@@Timo8.2. You are right bears are not monsters they do not want to kill for fun. Humans kill for fun though and we tear down millions of animal’s environments each year to build our homes… sickening. Deforestation in the jungles ruin so many animals homes, especially since animals are much more abundant down there. :(
The bravest man in the world, spoon feeding a big baby.
Baby ?
but
They’re just friends, enjoying life and the world’s good things.
This is the way life was meant to be, I believe.
@Why So Serious? Yeah ok, common sense tells me he's lucky the bear doesn't get carried away and maul him to death. I believe this is why in some of his other vids horsing around with this bear that the comments are turned off, probably doesn't want to address common sense?
A relationship goes a long way.
I’m so jealous! I will never get to experience what you guys do for these majestic babies. Thank you for loving them. And letting us watch!
Our pleasure!
@Har By Apex Babies
I was thinking the same. God Bless. I think this man is an actor. I remenber someone like him and he is so familiar...
@@TITANSofTheEARTH d
@Har its always the ones who have a utopian mindset about wild animals that end up becoming scat. This guy has been with these bears their whole lives but I'm sure even he would tell you, family size pies or not, the bear is a wild animal that's capable of inflicting damage you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.
Bear: "My food is feeding me my food... I'll allow it" lol
I’m amazed at how gentle and patient that big ole bear is. These guys obviously have a strong bond and trust each other.
Hope he doesn't get hyperactive from the sugar, imagine that dude jumping on the couch😅
The face Leo made when he did the airplane though, I'm dying laughing.
Adorable
Your pfp is scaring me
This face? 😂 2:40
🤣😂😂
Haha
More thanks to Efrat and Ilan for sending the bears honey!
Bear: “Oh! How nice of the main course to feed me an appetizer!”
I can only imagine the joy that small children experience when they see this big bear being spoon fed honey!
Small children know full well that bears love honey, but to actually see a real life bear having some, just like they do, from a spoon, will enthral them!
It also enthralls older people whom were fortunate enough to retain their childlike love of beautiful things and animals...
Just special what beautiful honey Leo was so gentle around Jim lucky bears and very lucky Jim.
Aww, jim was a giant teddy bear. This one is like winnie the pooh with a hump and claws.
That certainly answers the question, “Do bears like honey?” That bear appears to have very much enjoyed it.
Hopefully, Ol' Leo won't get a tummy ache, after eating all that honey!
O bears love honey! It's one of major foods for them in the wild. Actually, they love all the sweet things, like berries and such too :) but they willing to get stung for the honey, so there's dedication for it 🐻🍯
That bear just loves his friend :-) and his friend loves him
Of course bears love honey. Have you not seen the cartoon about China's president?
@@timo4938 winnie the poo?
His head is bigger than the mans whole upper body! That’s a lot of power…
and the dude is already bigger than most men
That hump on his back is muscle for additional strength in biting. Not for arms. For biting. Terrifying
You can tell this man raised this bear. Still amazing to see this massive predator so docile and calm. One could almost forget that Leo is a natural killer.
Leo comes over and he's like, "U got honey? Well, I like honey! What a coincidence, my friend."
That bear is just the sweetest!! He just acts like a really big and cute dog! 😍
Yeah I just assume they are a real orphan center for wildlife so they had to maybe raise him from a baby, or he's missing his teeth so that's why he fed him that way or also no claws, because just as Orcas have shown to sometimes play a little too rough, it would be unusual to see a relationship as such. Having said that, the great thing is sometimes it does happen, with all kinds of wild animals, sometimes because of a shared traumatic experience or just from mutual benefits. I can't count the number of plants and animals I encounter every day on my 20 odd acres. It was just a beautiful and wondrous video. To watch I mean. Personally I have respect and fear of local black bears. I'm not sure if I would ever intentionally tread in brown bear territory!
Not in the wild...
GIANT DOGGO!
Sure
I ain't even lying this has me in awe right now. That creature is hella huge. And as loveable as a house cat. That blows my mind right into outer space. An this is how it should be. Loving the creatures that are a very important part of our wild nature habitats and for a very large bear to have a loving bond with a human is not impossible and is just an in awe view. Many blessings to brotha man feeding the bear always
Tell that to Timothy treadwell
@@jonodunn2592 don't know who he is. Bit I have a feeling something negative is coming from this which I don't want to hear about
@@edwardmarcell2494 Watch Grizzly Man
@Colin Mor doesn’t matter what he does when he’s that close if the bear wanted some meat in his diet he’s on the menu
@EdwardMarcell This man raised this bear as well as many others from when they were just cubs. This is why they have such a very strong and indissoluble bond and friendship. The bear most likely also sees him as a father figure . His relationships with these bears are as close to taming them as possible. I guarantee no one would ever try to trespass or break into this man's property with all those bears around. They are one of the best forms of security
He is beautiful. Your so blessed being able to help the animals. They know when you love them. I always thought that they are much smarter than we think. Keep up the videos ,I am sure people would love being able to see some of your other friends
My heart jumps when I see the loving, mutual respect between man and animal; no mastering, no torture, no chains. The way we should treat all of creation.
You mean of course man and bear. Humans are animals as well.
And what "creation"?

@@anna-lenameijer9942
Your comment has absolutely nothing to do with mine....
Wow...
You don't know much about animals, do you? Ever heard of crows or octopuses?...
"...we humans (who can think) can interact with nature and the animals without mastering everything but humble ourselves ..."
So,..... you just arrogantly assumed, based on obvious ignorance, that only human are [superior enough to be] able to think and so are not animals, and then you call yourself "trying to be humble"...
You're really not. What you're doing is called arrogant narcissism.
Humans are animals. _You_ are not able to humble yourself to realize _that_ .
Otherwise fish are not animals, because they're not bears...
Just because you set the standard for "superior" to "human", doesn't mean humans actually ARE a "superior lifeform". You just showed you're not.
There are shrimp like animals living at the edge of oceanic volcanoes. Are we "superior" to them? Would you like to live there? Would you BE ABLE TO live there?.... No? So, you're not superior to them then, because they can...
Can you leap 4 to 5 times your body length, without a run up? Or jump down from 15 meters and not have a scratch?
My cats can... They are superior to me on that.
So obviously nature is not "created". It is a product of the universe. It's not a painting or a house or a watch and those things don't grow on trees...
The bear is SO BIG and very polite, waiting for you to give him another spoonful.
There are bigger species of brown bears.. if you get time, look up extinct species of bear, they make the biggest in the family, polar bears, look like babies
And you forgot...Handsome.
Really amazing animals
@@MrRedeyedJedi You realize that if they’re “extinct,” they don’t exist, and “are” not anything, right?
@@cherylmcnutt9905 no. I thought extinct meant I could go out and see one roaming my local neighbourhood at any point.
Lol, how cute. I thought I was the only one who spoon fed my fur babies. My doggies line up for their treats to be spoon fed to them. Lol. I love How patient this big guy is. Such good manners. Lol
You and your moochers are funnyyy
@@pilarq7886 they are funny but they do have manners. They must go lay down until dinner is all done and then they get their yummies spoon fed to them. Lol. If they beg, I ask "are you begging" and they turn around and go lay down. Lol. What are fur babies for, if not to be spoiled. Lol
I like it when he was like "nom.. nom.. nom.."
Bear snout structure is really similar to a dogs. He looks like a nice big dogge when he's snackin'!
And that snout and lips, they're basically magnetically zeroing in on that spoonfull.
Thanks for sharing! So satisfying.
Your kind gesture towards the bear is indeed a sign of humanity and kindness still existing on this earth. Lots of love and blessings to you all. And a big bear hug to your darling bear. God Almighty bless you all.
Now lets give this kindness to all cows and pigs and chickens
Yes this is the kind of people I love without ever meeting.
@@tvd9015 Agree with all my heart.
Very cool comment.
Watching gives me faith in humanity...
Spoon feeding honey to a big boy bear, that’s a first. Brave soul
Ironically Syrian brown bear is the smallest brown bear sub species
I don't why but I feel so peaceful and chill to watch him feeding Leo.....beautiful.
I am from the northern part of Syria, Aleppo specifically where it’s indeed the the natural habitat for this species, these bears are usually brought up in the the forests - yes pine forests - and hunters mostly target cubs and trade them to zoos or private individuals which cause their numbers to decrease significantly
So sad 😓
It's always so beatiful to see this love and respect between humans and animals ... thank you for sharing it with us, you are great person 👏👏👏👍😊
Our pleasure!
But it still a wild animal
but isnt every animal technically a wild animal?
The funniest thing is... All HUMANS are Animals too! We are Mammals...
@@BeingMe23 just y bro
The relationships this man and his wife have had with numerous bears throughout the years is remarkable, they genuinely care about the direction the species is headed
I love that he waits patiently for each spoon full.
It's truly amazing to witness the way bears have evolved in order to use utensils and feed other's of their kind.
Winnie still alive and kicking. I use to watch this dude when I was a kid. He’s put a bit of timber on last time I saw him
Winnie was named after Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. There is a statue of him at the zoo here.

Right?!
@Monke A pet cat or dog would eat you if it were hungry enough.
@DirtStarWink I would EAT YOU if i was hungry enough, don't blame.
Leo is such an adorable gentle giant! Leo and Jim share a special bond few humans have. People CAN love and respect animals, especially giant bears, and be friends with them! Thanks Jim and Susan for showing compassion and humanity to all your beautiful bears!!!🐻❤🐻❤🐻❤
He's a wild animal, that guys lucky that bear didn't want a meat snack after the honey.
Wild animals belong in the wild.
Orphaned wild animals are still wild, cage them, feed them but treat them like they're wild.
Animals speak just fine. My dog tells me everything. It's not spoken, but he speaks volumes.
Can’t help to think about Timothy Treadwell when I see humans and big brown bears together…however, knowing this bear was orphaned at a young age, lives at an orphanage for bears, and was raised by this gentle man, my mind can let go of the anxiety that comes along with big brown bears and human interactions. The airplane delivery was priceless. Made my heart smile.
He's such a big lovable lug. I wish I could pat and hug him. He's beautiful!
Leo is in honey heaven. I’m visualizing Jimbo with a slab of that honey.
He's beautiful! ❤️
And so is the bear! 😏
Soooo funny!! Love the lip wobbles waiting for the spoon full of honey 😂
What a special connection between a special bear and a great human being. Thank you soooo much for sharing this beautiful video and all you do to care for these beautiful animals. Sooo touching!!❤🐻🙂🙏
"The Syrian brown bear (Ursus arctos syriacus or Ursus arctos arctos) is a RELATIVELY SMALL subspecies of brown bear native to the Middle East and the Caucasus mountain range."
Ur sus
Asian bear
You call that bear small!!!!!!!!!
Syrian brown bear has to be wrong. The look completly different, and they said in a other video, that his bears are grizzly bears / kodiak bears, which looks far more fitting.
Everything's in the "relatively"
LEO is such a gentle gentleman!
The bear is enjoying every bit of the honey. Such a heartwarming sight.
I LOVE this! You are so patient and sweet with Leo as he is with you! Truly special and amazing ❤ Thank you for loving and caring for these beautiful animals
That's one happy bear, he's in honey heaven ❤❤
Leo has such good table manners. Unlike my grand children who eat like bears at the dump. lol
😂🤣
Maybe if you parented your kids better they'd of taught there kids better table manners lol....
It’s like feeding a very well behaved big brown puppy outdoors….this is so sweet 💙💙
Thank you for your service by taking precious care of the planets wild animals. I really appreciate your service 🙏❤️
All I've ever heard is "don't feed the bears," yet here this guy is spoon feeding from his lap. What's next? A picinic basket?
Yea theres good and bad for all animals. The problem with a animal is you cant talk the same language and have a conversation to decide if you trust them. Your trusting them 100 percent on body language and actions
That bear must love him
@WWEG1WGA obviously he was hungry. That was a warning he didn’t have to fight and kill the man. Too much work. Nothing personal
The bear is a rescued bear at a wildlife center. The man and bear are familiar with each other. My guess is that bear is also probably neutered, making him less aggressive.
@WWEG1WGA 😄 🤣 😂 😆 Thanks for the story.
Oh my lord, he is actually waiting for you to feed it to him off the teaspoon! That is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen on the internet.
Extraordinary!…Thank You Jesus for Both of You!
I love how much u all love these bears they are calm and no anxious behavior its great, they have a great life ❤
I seriously can't believe you get to spend your days spoon feeding bears...
That's freakin' awesome man
Looks like big Leo had the most dainty honey eating
I would like to feel that Bears 🐻 ears 👂 😻😻😻

Never thought I'd see someone do the old "open up for the airplane!" to an adult - let alone an adult BEAR! 😳
How adorable 🥰 Those two share a very unique bond. It can be seen in this video for sure.
What a good boy he is. Gentle, polite and very entertaining. Thank you both very much👍🇨🇦
I appreciate compassion of the guy
Leo is so sweet, he knows enough to eat off of the spoon and not just take the entire tray. That’s amazing. 🐻💕
Bears are so cute :D my animal spirit.
Literally the sweetest thing I ever did see!! Bless your hearts, sending you all love and blessings

It's one of the biggest for sure. It looks to be at least 1200 lbs

Its insane how gentle he can be
Deadly species: *is deadly*
Humans: “so anyways, i started petting.”
the most amazing fact is that the bear stops eating by himself instead of overeating, like humans usually would
I was honestly worried that when the honey ran out, human flesh would be the next option. They must be well fed to know when a treat is a treat.
oh even humans know, don't tell me you've never stepped away from sugar as it makes you feel sick. Even lardasses feel this affliction
Bears overeat every year and then sleep for 6 months, idiot
Still, the guy overdid it. Bear was done way before that.
It is so amazing to see you work with the bears and it great that you take the time to do what you do thank you
