In some places，people collect honey from wild bees. This is common in many parts of the world，especially South Asia. Honey hunting is a local tradition in southern India but it is not an undemanding job. The bees in southern India can grow up to the size of the smallest adult human finger. And these giant honey bees build their hives (蜂窝)on the sides of mountains!

It takes many years for a honey hunter to learn to collect honey from these hives. From a young age the honey hunter learns everything about bees. He practices climbing hundreds of meters above the ground. Before the honey season, the honey hunter prepares for many days.

When the day of the honey hunt season arrives, the honey hunter goes to the edge of the mountain early in the morning. He climbs down with a rope and lights some dry branches (树枝）on fire. The smoke makes the bees leave the hive. With the bees flying around the honey hunter，he uses a long sharp stick to gently get pieces of the wax (蜜錯) filled with honey. He then takes them back to the village in 2 box made of bamboo.

Usually the hunter takes some honey and leaves some of the hive on the mountainside.

He does not take the part of the hive with the baby bees in it since he does not want to destroy the home of the bees. When the honey hunter returns, the village celebrates!
