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

Bel Bahadur Gurung, 34, works to clear the way for a Buddhist priest to arrive to offer pooja, in which the priest offers prayers on behalf of the hunters on the cliff for safety, ahead of honey hunting 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 villagers joined in the ritual slaughter of a red rooster, separating its feet and feathers as an offering to the cliff god, to seek forgiveness for taking the honey from the giant bees, known to scientists as Apis laboriosa.
