They camp in the forests and build their tools on the spot with vines and dried twigs. A small prayer is offered before skilful climbers clamber up (trees, caves or cliffs) to the hives. They smoke out the bees, deftly collecting only the honey chamber of the hive. The honeycombs are brought down and the honey is extracted. Leaving behind hives for the following season and the bees, they return with cans of honey on their long journey home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour Impact \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery jar of this honey once sold, will give more employment opportunities to the underprivileged community of Paliyans and will also help preserve this technique of collecting honey without destroying beehives.
