Apis cerana found in the isolated forest in Himalayan mountains of Nepal . The honey hunters are a tribe of Gurungs in central Nepal who follow the tradition of honey hunting, a tradition passed down since generations. The bees are driven away from the honeycomb by smoke. Nepali folk cook this under a fire and consider it a delicacy. The honey portion of the hive is brought down in baskets.
People waiting near the foot of the trees, squeeze honey from the comb into earthen pots.
We make every effort to ensure that the bee products reach you at their Organic best. Organic honey is extracted by the 'cold press' method without the use of heat. This helps preserve the pollen and the enzymes that occur naturally in honey. Besides being an economic activity harvesting cliff honey, honey hunting also involves special rituals and satisfies the leisure requirements of isolated mountain people. Hunting cliff honey is a dangerous activity and most of the cliffs are named and remembered by the names of honey hunters who died during honey harvesting.
