Yoh: Man walks with bees all over his body, claims to have been doing it for 30 years
In other news about people living wildly, Briefly News previously reported that it is said that a sting from a honey bee can result in a painfully raised swell or an allergic reaction that will require medical attention.
Little wonder humans shy away from coming in contact with the insect. But the reverse is the case for a man as he has found fame with it.
The unidentified man is a serial beekeeper. He is in fact, more than that. The man is popular in his community for his ability to walk around with thousands of bees on his body without being stung.
