The treasures of nature often come from the strangest places. However, there is one in particular that has become a difficult delicacy to harvest. The Himalayan bee honey It grows on the steep cliffs of this mountain range in Asia and is unique in the world thanks to the psychotherapeutic properties that have been discovered in it.
Always Beeloved
The bees have formed hives around the hills where few dare to climb. This product is now known as crazy honey, which is hidden in the high cliffs of the Himalayas until the last hunter of the village of the development committee of Kulunga in NepalGo up to collect it.
The wonderful power of this honey is experienced during the spring; in this age, Himalayan bees get strange toxins from rhododendron flowers. Just two to three tablespoons to experience the changes it produces in the mind.
“A sound pulses in your head, like the hive. You can’t move, but you’re still fully lucid. The paralysis lasts about 1 day.” (Jangi Kulung, local honey trader)
A report by National Geographic recounts the risky work of kulung hunters to get crazy honey. This can be a strong and profound experience for lovers of this honey, who have decided to abandon it due to the risk it implies for both species.
The community decided to suspend the collection of this psychotropic sweetener and continue with the harvest until it is a sustainable process for both parties (bees and consumers). This one-of-a-kind honey depends on a very fragile ecosystem. The inhabitants understand that the supply may end soon if they do not act responsibly. Therefore, the honey will be intact for now.
It is possible that later the hunters will try again to climb up to the hives full of this powerful and enriching honey. This custom is rich in every way; It is full of culture, respect for nature and its most valuable resources.
