    London, Feb 09 : Two Chinese sisters have an unusual fashion sense - they wear "bee clothing"!

    The women, who often wrap themselves with thick layer of bees, come from a family of professional beekeepers in Jingmen.

    Apparently, their father Liu Xinchun, taught them to "wear" what he calls "bee clothing".

    "We use special ways to attract the queen bee on to us and then other bees among the group will follow and hang on to the person," the Sun quoted him as saying.

    Liu mentioned that a bee group can contain as many as 30,000 individual insects.

    He claims his family is naturally immune to the mild venom in bee stings.
