They dare into the wilderness with crew members to collect nectar, traveling miles from their villages in search of the hives of wild honeybees. They take with them rice, utensils, axes, and jars. The honey hunting campaign continues from mid-April to the end of June every year. They light a torch to smoke the bees off the comb and as they disperse they cut the beehives with a machete, drops in into a container, and retreats without causing harm to ecology or wild bees. Hence, 60% of the honey collected is brought by us from them, the rest they keep it for personal uses or to sell it locally in their villages.
