How is Mad Honey harvested?

Full process of harvesting Real Mad Honey:

1. Identifying the right season:
   • Mad Honey is collected twice a year, usually in spring and autumn, when rhododendrons bloom and provide nectar.
2. Locating bee colonies:
   • Local collectors, known as "hunters" or "honey gatherers", locate bee hives in remote and hard-to-reach mountainous areas. These hives are often placed high on cliffs or in forested areas.
3. Preparation for harvest:
   • Collectors equip themselves with traditional tools such as ropes, ladders, and protective clothing. Before the actual harvest, they often perform rituals to protect against bee stings and ensure safety.
4. Climbing to hives:
   • Collectors often have to climb steep cliffs and trees to reach the hives. They use ropes and improvised ladders made of bamboo or other available materials.
5. Honey extraction:
   • Once at the hive, collectors carefully remove the honeycombs. This process requires great care to avoid disturbing the hive and provoking aggressive bees. Smoke is used to calm the bees, allowing safer work.
6. Processing the honey:
   • The combs are then brought down, and honey is extracted using traditional methods. In some cases, the combs are pressed to obtain liquid honey, which is then filtered and purified.
7. Packing and storage:
   • Freshly harvested honey is packed into containers and prepared for distribution. It is important to store honey in a dry and cool place to preserve its unique properties and quality.

Challenges and risks:

• Hazardous conditions: Collectors face dangerous conditions such as climbing steep cliffs and risk of falling.
• Aggressive bees: Bees producing Mad Honey can be very aggressive, increasing the risk of stings.
