Honey Hunting in Nepal In his latest series, British photographer Andrew Newey documents the ancient tradition of gathering honey high in the Himalayan foothills of central Nepal Gurung. The honey hunting tribe gather twice a year in the foothills, where they use huge rope ladders and poles to extract honey from some some of the world's largest hives. The skill has been passed down through the generations for hundredsof years but, sadly, as commercial methods of producing honey grow and with the declining numbers of bees due to climate change, the art will soon be lost. via: hubmagazine.co.uk
