Honey collecting in Zambia

In the miombo forests of Zambia, villagers risk their lives by climbing trees and collecting the honeycomb so it can be shipped to the UK and sold as Organic Fairtrade forest honey.

@jambrayother I kept bees in Africa and let me tell you they are stingers ! they dive bomb with force. They are the result of baboons raiding hives for thousands of years - only the bees with the ability to sting through tough fur survive, that is why they are "African Bees"

I agree with navigatro and i dont really understand what do you trying to say. Whats wrong?/Iam sure these people are happy to have a buyer and it is true -its organic honey. This is 21 century and yes they are rich people and poor people people in war ...but i think we all know about it by now. The body shop has a good reputation what about cocoa and nestle??uf men ....you give me headache lets be happy ...its fine no problem
