Sometimes I REALLY wonder why there are world records for certain things. This is one of those times...
Zuhair Fatani, a Saudi Arabian man, is having another go at the world record for “heaviest mantle of bees.” He failed the last time he tried, even though he stood for over an hour while covered in thousands of bees. This time it didn’t go any better, since one of the queens flew away, bringing most of the other 220-pounds of bees with her. The current record-holder is Ruan Liangming from China, with 140-pounds of bees, including 60 queens.
