Two fearless bee keepers - Lu Kongjiang and Wang Dalin – went head-to-head in China's Hunan province to find out who can attract the most bees.

According to www.news.com.au, wearing just a pair of shorts and with the help of a queen bee, Mr Wang tipped the scales with 26kg worth of bees in an hour.

And the sting in the tail for Lu Kongjiang was that he managed to attract a swarm of just under 23kg.

But both Wang Dalin and Lu Kongjiang have a way to go before they match Guinness Book of Records holder Mark Biancaniello for the "most bees worn on the body," title.
