Johannes Relleke of Zimbabwe survived a record 2,443 bee stings in 1962.
All of the stings were individually removed and counted after the ordeal.
Many similar instances have occurred since then, especially to those
attempting to break records with the most number of bees on their body. For
example, a Chinese beekeeper, Gao Bingguo, is suspected to have been stung
around 2,000 times when he broke a record with 326,000 bees on his body in
2014. However, Johannes Relleke continues to hold the record for the
largest number of bee stings removed as of 2015.
