The Guinness world record for the largest bee house measures 5 m by 2.37 by 0.28 m (16 ft 5 in by 7 ft 9 in by 11 in) and is located at Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve, Sevenoaks, UK.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the fastest marathon dressed in a full suit: 3 hr 24 min 46 sec, achieved by Paul Buchanan (UK) at the Lifestyle Sports - adidas Dublin Marathon, Dublin, Ireland.
Zhang Wei, from Zizhou County, in western China, wore a special frame covered in foliage to hold the mass of bees.
Wearing a pair of gggles and holding a tube in his mouth for breathing, Mr Wei was seated as around two dozen crates full of bees were released next to him.

The man - who was wearing a jacket and trousers but did not have his hands or face protected - did not seem to mind as thousands of the insects buzzed around him and almost completely engulfed his frame.
Mr Wei achieved the feat just two days after Chinese beekeeper Shen Zonghong broke the previous world record by having 36kg of bees on his body.
