Honey Hunting and Bees in Your Bonnet!

Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

Hunting for wild honey is an old tradition in rural Nepal, and extremely dangerous too, as the bees make their combs on sheer cliff-faces. Villagers descend rope ladders suspended over the void to harvest the honeycomb. And this year the action was filmed by BBC India journalists Aamir Peerzada and Neha Sharma.
