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

Villagers cover themselves with 'bakhu', a type of a large shawl or a poncho made by local women from sheep wool, as the honey hunters prepare for the hunt 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. Now the generations-old craft is increasingly under threat as some experts say rising temperatures brought by climate change disrupt the growth of bees, the availability of their food and even pollination of plants.
