The Death-Defying Climb for Honey
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 08. 2024
- Twice a year, about 80 miles outside Kathmandu, Nepal, villagers from Bhujung embark on a centuries-old quest. Enduring bee stings and hanging from handmade rope ladders, Madan Singh Gurung and his fellow honey hunters defy death to gather precious liquid gold. It’s a tradition that links past and present-one Madan feels has been his destiny since birth.

Mr. T Imagine complaining about going to the mall what a privileged life you have.

The 2 people who disliked the video are the ones who fell off the cliff for their lack of knowledge

@@cryptictaco5834 it seems we found one of the people who fell off that ridge
I disliked because they almost plagiarized the whole thing.
@@thmmo plagiarized from who?
Some cd I remembered. It’s one of those cds you can buy anywhere but irl.
Nepalese people are the bravest but peace loving happiest people i have known so far in my 12 years of world travel. Love from Texas. Planning our next visit this oct.
@@sugarfree6959 I wasnt telling u.

Where in Texas? I live here as well
Love from nepal
SA
Thank you 🙏 for your kind words for Nepali people
What a beautiful character they had. Asking forgiveness first before taking honey from the Beas. Love the attitude
tsh stfu
Jason Huffman UH OH STINKY CAVEMAN BRAIN UH OH STINKY POOPY
Meanwhile in the Bee movie Barry sues the human race for stealing their honey

BTW honey hunting is common across hilly regions of Nepal, it's not just that place. Although maybe not that specific type of honey for reasons. People who can't afford sugar in Himalayan regions still go honey hunting or try horticulture.
Parzival this is also showing their tradition as well the dangers.
Yo aer rite iam from also nepal
Imagine what winnie the poo goes through every day
Imagine what my poo goes through every day. No hate though
This is my real country NEPAL. My heart shrinks while describing country.
"I say sorry to the bees before attacking the hives"
RESPECT: 100

And I’m here complaining my refrigerator is to far from my couch 🤦♀️
🙀♀
*Fell to the ground*
Honey hunter:You don't have enough much knowledge,just stand up and deal witg it!!
*dies*
Honey hunter:oh.
Me: he didn't turn on creative in time
Or u can leave Minecraft right before you fall, then get on again and u fall from a low height
He needs to be quicker to turn in creative
He did'nt have water bucket in his inventory
Your pretend RP is stupid..
Been 20 years since we left Lalitpur, Nepal. Back in 1987 Eric Valli had published "Honey Hunters" and NG printed his great images. Fond memories of the NP people.
They forget to tell that the honey may make them high
ah i saw a similar video this dude ate too much that someone have to piggyback ride him...
only in some places in certain seasons, the effects are because of chemicals in the plants that flower then, in most cases rhododendron i believe. But this happens all over the world not just Nepal, like turkey greece africa and even some cases in america. A lot of cultures used to eat that honey and is still used in some places as medicine for example.
@@tseuren123 oh wow. What a clearance
You're right, they forgot to add that in.
Also consuming too much wild honey in a single time can be deathly too 😁
I from Nepal I am from this country Pls come. And visit
Bikram Bhandari ok
@@robertomadero5134 😊
No dont come here we dont want you here
Himalayas iam coming
Visited couple years ago. It was wonderful.😍💜💜
I'm so envy,they live in such a beautiful place. Fresh air.
Can we just talk about the nature and environment of nepal how beautiful its is
This man seems so proud of his profession and it's really lovely❤️
Honey is actually a browser extension that can save you hundreds by shopping online!
Lol
No
Michael Wade nice
This is my country and my people. All of you are always welcome! Namaste!!
Namaste!! Lots of love and respecg for Nepal from your neighbour India 😊
When you can speak the language you realize that they simplify the translations and skip over things ;~;
it may sound stupid, but i think it's hard to believe in the translations, they could edit to manipulate the content
ye tru, same with the chinese videos for me x)
These guys look so happy and peaceful, must be nice to be that positive about your position in life...
Love to see you guys covering story from my country
I can't do that, but he can and not all people can do it! Crazy, determine and strong man he is!
Thats why he told 'honey make us strong'
Human's passion to discover & destroy to satisfy themselves is just.. intense.
That one guy at 1:03 looks like he been getting stung everytime for years. Never gets away without a few stings in the face a day.🐝
This is so cool, I am glad I subscribed. Great big story is one of the best channels out there. Keep up the good work👍👍
I have been to this place and watching it as an episode in GBS made me supppperrrrrr happy. All hail Nepal!!!
This is the best channel on CZcams bar none
I like how they assume that eating honey makes them "stronger" even though they don't know what it really does it's just sweet and provides some medical properties
Placebo
Zapharian what?
@@ant_tha_kid8717 placebo effect
Theres a much longer version of this from a much older documentary channel. It's called Psychedelic Honey Hunters of Nepal, for those interested
♥... Thank.❄.You...♥
Him: Let the bee crawling on his face.
Me when a bee is on my face: "OH MY GOD, HELP''
Now that's true bravery!
I belong to the same country
Nepal🇳🇵
who cares
hello really love your videos
This reminds me of that scene in The Jungle Book
This reminds me of that scene from the live action jungle book
Bee- let's make a hive where no one can reach
Humans - 🤭
They are just simply super humans
Such height, gives me the jitters. My palms would sweat, heart beat would jump.
So life risking
If they left some of the hive the bees could repopulate faster and produce a larger yield.
Respect from nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Bee Movie but its a documentary about honey climbers and its actually a video and have nothing to do with Bee Movie except that it have bees in it
But do they like jazz?
This reminds me of the graphic novel bone book 2
The real honey is the friends they make along the way
The guy: “if someone falls off the cliff we assume they didn’t have enough knowledge or they didn’t know what they were doing*
Me, not even 2 feet above the ground: *S P L A T*
I remember an hour long documentary about this in the 90s Discovery Channel, man I miss those documentaries so much
The poor bees probably thought "ahh...finally! A place far away from everyone. This is great." And then just looked on with a dumbfounded expression as they watched the human climb up, like "son of a bi..."
As a bee keeper myself, this is pretty freaky to see his suit and how there must be many entry points for bees, as only one could lead to multiple stings
Human: Can i get your beehive?
Bees: sure
Human: understandable have a nice day
Similar documentary ( much more detailed) by VICE Asia was published before this documentary by great big story
YES that's what I keep telling everyone. The vice one was way better everyone was getting high af
@@knightvision666 YESSS..... THAT TOO
That honey is hallucinating !!
This is insane. What a story 👏
It's written in our destiny to watch incessant CZcams recommendations videos for ever
I know what it's feel like but these guys are in a league of their own, Respect.
Like always. Great story, great video. Cannot expect more than this
Watch the Honey video by Vice Asia it's the same place vice just did it better.
Mowgli in real life
What a man does for his honey.
Ok dangerous work done by old guys😁 its part of culture😊🇳🇵
*i can't estimate*
*-proceeds to estimate-*
My Nepal..
My Pride..
Love from Nepal🇳🇵
Life goes on. Its your part whether you simplify or complicate it. Nepalese people are not very rich in terms of money but very happy with small things. One can also sense how spirituality is deep rooted in nepalese mindset and how it has helped them stay strong and happy.
They call me honey hunter in school.
honestly nice job camera man
Reminds me of that one scene from the jungle book 🤔
I used to honey hunting growing up, it was awesome.
This is how it feels to get out of bed for a snack
Baloo would approve this! :)
Thank you for visiting my country Nepal. Love yah and I hope you will visit us again.
This village will never have a flood problems or hurricane
They didn’t mention once that the honey makes u trip sack if u eat too much
Beautiful Nepal...
Is it better than cultivated honey,or organic mother honey?
Proud to be Nepali ❤️
Hey it’s like that cliff in the live action Jungle Book
Maybe they can cut a chunk from it so the bees have half of their home?
Poor bees... Humanity will never stop puting itself higher than other life forms...
Iam proud of you mayn
Iam also from nepal
I don’t expect that you keep nepali story❤️
awe that’s so sweet that he apologizes to the bee’s before taking the honey 🥺
Bee s build honey hived there for a reason 😂
My papaw kept a few beehives. Not much out there tastier than a fresh honeycomb!
me: sees the thumbnail
Also me: Rock, is that you?!
So proud my country made to the channel but that hill is dangerous I have seen people do it in real life
That's the best Honey in the World....Bees 🐝 make it in some of the best parts of pure Nature of this World........
They forgot to mention that the honey will make them high. It’s a special kind of honey.
1:04 I think he got stung a couple times.
Welcome to Nepal
Fun fact : they used this mountain from the live action movie mowgli
I want some of this honey, 🍯
Don’t know why but this reminds me of the real life version of the jungle book when mowgli had to get honey for baloo
reminds me of the jungle book
Just go buy honey at the store....damn!
If Winnie the Pooh climbs that cliff everyday for honey imagine how fit he is now.
Great Big story: upload a video about Nepal
Me and the gurkhas: storm in BOISSSSS!
He looks like the rock in the thumbnail.
VISIT NEPAL 2020
They took my honey
I took their lives
