... Breaks World Record.

Two words: f*** that.
China has taken another step towards global dominance by covering a man in 326,000 bees.
Gao Bingguo, a 54-year-old beekeeper from Shandong Province, has been raising bees for more than 34 years, so there was probably no better target for 33 kilograms of the insect.
Gao had a thorough wash before attempting the record, as bees are known to sting people with pungent body odour.
After dropping bee-knowledge like that, organisers were confident that Gao wasn’t going to be stung to death in front of state media.
So they soon proceeded with stage two…
…covering Gao with boxes containing queen bees. These would attract the worker bees, who were dumped at his feet by a host of delighted helpers.
Perched on his mighty throne, the Ned Stark of Chinese bee records soon realised that one does not simply achieve total bee coverage instantaneously. It actually takes two and half hours.
If you’ve a problem with me mixing up Sean Bean characters in the preceding sentence, then pay attention to Gao having a cheeky tab while covered in 300,000+ bees. These are the remarkable feats Chinese people achieve when the western world quibbles over trivial references to Game Of Thrones and Boromir.
After the bees were removed, Gao had a well-earned bath to help soothe the stings – all 2000 of them (so he says).
The proud beekeeper was then presented with the plaque marking his new world record.
