How many bees do you need to have all over your body to break a world record? About 240 lbs., it turns out. The International Business Times reports Gao Bingguo, a 55-year-old beekeeper in China, wiped out the previous record of 184 lbs. of bees that was set by a fellow Chinese beekeeper. Bingguo accomplished the feat with the aid of beekeepers who added queen bees to his body first, to entice other bees to land on his arms, legs and head. As you can see in the video, he is smoking a cigarette, which keeps the bees out of his nose and mouth.
