It\u2019s a tradition that\u2019s carried on for generations, with roots going back <a href=\"http:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=Ao-gvIXKc1IC&amp;lpg=PA61&amp;ots=YUQU2B9L0M&amp;dq=cave%20painting%20honey%20hunting&amp;pg=PA61#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false\">thousands of years<\/a>, but it might not last much longer. With bee populations already dwindling, the delicate ecosystem that underpins this tradition is threatened by a changing climate, a rising market for the bees\u2019 spring honey, and a new invasive species: tourists.<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Photographer Andrew Newey took pains to avoid contributing to these problems when he documented the Gurung ritual in 2013. \u201cI\u2019d done plenty of research beforehand and I knew that tourism was having a detrimental impact on the region,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was massively under threat and I thought I\u2019d go over there and document it before it just disappears like too many other traditions around the world.\u201d It\u2019s an insanely dangerous and sometimes fatal ritual. Usually wearing no protective clothing, the hunters climb some 200 to 300 feet up a cliff on a hand-woven rope ladder to gather the gossamer motherships of <em>Apis laboriosa<\/em>, the world\u2019s largest honeybee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1643\" src=\"http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"597\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes02.jpg 597w, http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes02-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 597px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Using smoke to sedate the bees, the hunters have learned to tolerate the stings as they juggle the ladder and two 8-yard-long bamboo \u201ctangos.\u201d One tango is to chisel the golden hives off the rock while the other pins a basket against the cliff to catch the combs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Filled baskets are lowered back down by a support team waiting at the base of the cliff. They move their way from one side of the cliff to the other over three long work days, before packing up and making the three-hour hike back to the village. \u201cThere\u2019s a big team, and they see it as a sort of social event, ,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andrewnewey.com\/\">Newey<\/a> says.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1644\" src=\"http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"605\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes03.jpg 605w, http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes03-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 605px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Even though honey hunting has become institutionalized to some degree \u2014 the 58-year-old hunter in Newey\u2019s photos is a professional who services about a dozen villages \u2014 it carries strong religious significance to the Gurung. Prior to each hunt, a sheep is sacrificed to appease the mountain gods for a safe harvest. Those who die are said not to have prayed enough. Responsible hunters only harvest in the spring and summer, leaving a third of the hives to repopulate before the next season. The villages usually keep and share autumn honey for tea and other uses, but the spring honey \u2014 called red honey for obvious reasons \u2014 is increasingly popular to Japan, China and Korea for its perceived medicinal qualities. Unscrupulous trekking agencies are cashing in, frequently buying off hunters to stage hunts at all times of year either to sell at market or to bring tourists. These practices disturb the bee populations, disrupting a key part of the local ecosystem and threatening to destroy the tradition itself. The Gurung\u2019s typical autumn harvest yields about 50 gallons \u2014 on Newey\u2019s visit they only got 20.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1645\" src=\"http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes04.jpg 590w, http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes04-480x350.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 590px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Six weeks later, he got an email from the teacher while traveling in Bangladesh, and returned to the village to join the hunt for the first three days of December.\u201cThey were a little bit confused as to why we suddenly had decided to go back at that exact time when they were going to do the hunt,\u201d he says. \u201cSo they knew that we got an insider that was giving us inside information, and of course we didn\u2019t want to tell them that it was the teacher.

In October of 2013, five years after first seeing the documentary, he found himself in Nepal\u2019s large Kaski district searching for honey hunters. A chance conversation with strangers at a local restaurant led him to a small Gurung village where the responsible harvesting methods were still practiced. Wary of being misled, he made sure he wasn\u2019t just about to line the proverbial pockets of a bunch of profiteers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u201cI tested them on more than one occasion,\u201d he says, \u201cJust trying to say, \u2018Look, we know you have to sacrifice a sheep as part of the ritual. If we pay for the sheep, will you give us a demonstration?\u2019 And they just flat out refused, which was brilliant. The villagers told him it was too early in the year for a hunt, so Newey traveled to Bangladesh in the meantime. The school of an English teacher in the village had collapsed, and Newey offered to donate a few computers in exchange for the teacher agreeing to let him know when the hunt was about to begin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1647\" src=\"http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"605\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes06.jpg 605w, http:\/\/drhoney.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/nepali-mezgyujtes06-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 605px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Six weeks later, he got an email from the teacher while traveling in Bangladesh, and returned to the village to join the hunt for the first three days of December.\u201cThey were a little bit confused as to why we suddenly had decided to go back at that exact time when they were going to do the hunt,\u201d he says. \u201cSo they knew that we got an insider that was giving us inside information, and of course we didn\u2019t want to tell them that it was the teacher.
