Turkish beekeeper Abdulvahap Semo made his third attempt to set a record for bee wearing in the Guinness World Records in Van province, Turkey, according to CGTN.

He managed to attract bees weighing a whopping 10 kilograms during this attempt, which was better than his second attempt in 2016, which attracted bees weighing six kilograms.

Before growing a "bee beard" on his body, he first calmed down the bees with a prepared smoke and then covered his body with bees by grabbing them from the beehive.

The fearless beekeeper said his body was immune to bee stings as he has been harvesting honey for 33 years. However, he needs to increase his record by six times to qualify for the new Guinness World Record.
