The Wider Image: Nepal’s honey gatherers say fewer hives threaten

Villagers carry a ladder that they made using local resources, such as bamboo and tree trunks, as they head over to harvest honey from the cliff near Taap in Lamjung, Nepal, May 29, 2024. For generations, the Gurung community in Taap, about 175 km (110 miles) west of the capital, Kathmandu, and other villages in the nearby districts of Lamjung and Kaski, have scoured the steep Himalayan cliffs for honey. The proceeds, split among the group, are drying up as the number of hives declines, said the villagers, although some earn a living from growing crops of rice, corn, millet and wheat. With less honey available to collect every year, income from the pursuit has declined over the past decade. REUTERS/Navesh Chitrakar
