This is the un-bee-lievable moment a motorist drives his car with a giant swarm of bees hanging above him stuck to the vehicle’s roof.

The motorist – not named in local media in Huangshan, Anhui Province, China – was filmed by a passenger with the swarm just inches from his head.

The footage – later posted on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok – shows the swarm bouncing like jelly as the car goes over bumps in the road.

But the driver does not turn a hair, not even when the movement threatens to break apart the swarm.

In a second clip, he happily points out the thousands of bees as he drives along.

In the passenger’s caption, the woman says that as bees are a traditional symbol of wealth, the driver will probably become a very rich man.

She said neither of them were afraid because they have learned that mountain bees do not typically attack people.

But the situation caused widespread concern among netizens, with many users saying it posed a very big safety risk in spite of the odds.

Swarms usually happen when a queen honey bee leaves the hive to find a new home and thousands of bees follow her.

They form a large cluster until scout bees locate a new place to live.
