A Chinese couple have got married wearing clothes made of thousands of living bees.

Li Wenhua and Yan Hongxia are both enthusiastic beekeepers and work for the Nanhu forestry commission at Ning’an city in northern China. And despite the fact that most of their pals kept their distance, the couple were still delighted with their new clothes.

Husband Li said: "I have been working with bees for two decades and it was the obvious choice for us for our big day. I also wanted to set a world record for the biggest coat of bees - I put a queen bee on each of us but the only thing is it was impossible to count how many bees we had - I don't know if a guess is enough?"

His wife added: "It was an amazing feeling to have a carpet of living bees moving over my body. I could feel them as they moved around - it was amazing. I have always loved bees but this was a totally new experience."

Enough to give you hives!
