It sounds weird to hear getting the honey by climbing up the rocks. These kinds of things going from ancient times. It is still in practices in some part of the world. Among them in Nepal a rural area called Magdhi. The honey bee hunter hunting honey in the rocks which seems quite extraordinary.
In the Southern rural part of Nepal in order to represent the group of Chimkhola piaja eight groups bee hunter in March month they go out for hunting honey but due to price disturbance the tradition hunter is slowly degrading.
In Aggare hills they have to pay some taxes. The Dosalle group have paid Rs5,000 to Government to collect honey. To take money they have to ask permission from the forest authority to take in Pokhara and Kathmandu
They step up to high hills and took 3oo to 10 liters of honey in the place called Dagnam and Doshelo to get honey. They are planning to take 100 liters in Magdi on Akkare hills. Due to the high amount of Lekali herbs found and its is a believe that it can cure the disease so there is a ritual to find out the hilly honey of magdi.
The taste of honey is so good but it is difficult to take out honey. In these no safety measure is applied in these kinds of activities. They will make a ladder out of Bamboo stick to climb the rock and becomes very careful while doing these. The main person taking out the honey wont have safety belts and they will have a sticks of Bamboo to use it and they becomes very careful to prevent out from accidents.
There need a courage, brave, leadership to take out these kinds of honey. To resist the pain of bees its more important.
In the winter season Bees fall down but in the summer they will go to Himalayan sides in the month of April. Because of the spring season there is a season of so many flower to blossom so March they make more honey. In late and early September and March its time to take out honey but in October because of rainy season it is difficult to climb over the hills.
