Fifth Floor - Honey Hunting and Bees in Your Bonnet!
Download Honey Hunting and Bees in Your Bonnet!
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.
