'Beard Shavers Bush'), also Baardscheerders Bosch in Dutch and locally known as B'bos, is a village in the Overberg region of the Western Cape province of South Africa.
The first reference to this area by Europeans dates to 1660, when Jan van Riebeek sent an expedition to explore the Overberg.
For a long time the village remained rural and undisturbed, but recently it has been discovered as a quiet getaway particularly for residents of Cape Town; several new houses have been built, and several more renovated.
The name "Baardskeerdersbos" in Afrikaans or "Baardscheerders Bosch" in the original Dutch literally means "Beard Shaver's Forest".
The accepted explanation for this name is that a species of solifuge inhabits the area, and that this arachnid is referred to as a "beard shaver" because it cuts hair to use for nest-building.
