In Nepal, gathering honey is a dangerous task, but it represents a precious resource for the villagers. Every year when the migratory bee, Apis Dorsata, arrives in their lands, some chosen few set out to confront the void to harvest the bitter honey of this giant bee. Expeditions last several days and prayers to the spirits of the forests and the cliffs allow the proud elect to reduce the number of accidents caused by the stings of the Apis Dorsata, the most dangerous bees in the world.

Ever since it appeared nearly 80 million years ago, the bee has occupied a special place in evolution. Untiring worker, essential to the development of vegetables, it is one of the foremost species maintaining our equilibrium on Earth. Mankind is fascinated by its perfect organization and its incredible reproduction process. And the relationship between people and bees throughout the world is equally plural. In a world where the climate is changing and biodiversity is gradually disappearing under the effects of “human activity”, the bee is in danger and so is our relationship with it.

This series is equal to this exceptional story and to the last men who are still sharing a close life with the bees for their mutual survival.
