A Chinese man broke a Guinness World Record after his body was covered in bees.

Ruan Liangming had several buckets filled with the insects dumped over his head in Yichun City and was able to cope with more than 100 pounds of bees.

He said that keeping calm was key to achieving the feat and urged people not to take their lives lightly when attempting extreme challenges.

Liangming explained: "The challenger must keep calm when dealing with bees. Bees will die once they sting you, so they usually avoid stinging unless they think you are threatening them.

"If you notice bees in an 'unsteady' mood, you need to figure out the reason quickly or stop the record attempt."
