Where honey is life
Honey is life for the villages of Nepal and Cameroon. These countries
are home to the most famous among the honey-hunters. The beehives
are hidden, you need eyes to seek out the bees' refuge and arms
and legs to climb up sheer rock faces and trees in the forest. You
have to steal the honey like an elusive robber. You must defy swarms
of bees defending their honey from the looters. But in the Himalayan
mountains and in the savannas of Cameroon there is no other way:
honey is food for the hunter's family, his last resource, it's a
currency to exchange in the market. Honey really is life.
