The wild honey bees collect the honey from Wild flowers from the jungle and prepare honey in Perilous cliffside location. The best honey depends on the best seasonal blooming jungle flowers. As we go higher and higher, the honey becomes harder in taste. These honeys are harvesting with the local hunters of Gurung and Magar tribes with their special honey hunting skills.
