High in the Himalayan foothills
of central Nepal, Gurung honey hunters gather twice a year risking their
lives to harvest the honey from the world's largest honeybee.
For
hundreds of years, the skills required to practise this ancient and
sacred tradition have been passed down through the generations, but now
both the number of bees and traditional honey hunters are in rapid
decline as a result of increased commercial interests and climate
change.
