Bee farmer protests over islands

05-02-06: South Korea - A South Korean bee farmer has covered his body with nearly 200,000 bees in protest over a territorial dispute between Japan and South Korea.

Ahn Sang-gyu, known for his bee performances, had tears running down his face as he was stung 200 times.

He was protesting against Japan's claim to a number of rocky islets located in waters between Japan and South Korea.

Called Dokdo in Korean and Takeshima in Japanese, the area has caused a long-running rift between the nations.
