In China’s Hunan province, two crazy bee keepers – Lu Kongjiang and Wang Dalin – went head-to-head to see how many bees they could wear.

The two bee keepers wore only a pair of shorts and stood on a weighing scale so the judges could determine who had attracted more bees.

The Guinness Book of Records has a category for “most pounds of bees worn on the body,” reportedly held by US animal trainer Mark Biancaniello who attracted 39.5 kilos (87lb) of bees onto his body.

Wang Dalin won the competition after he attracted 26 kg (57lb) of bees onto his body in 60 minutes. His opponent was engulfed by a mere 22.9 kg (50lb).
