Description
Rock Bee honey is non-cultivated wild forest honey from the cliffs of Nagaland. It comes from a region which forms part of the indo-burma bio-diversity hot spots. Due to its powerful composition, Rock bee honey has been reported to be good for: seasonal allergies, anxiety relief, control gastritis and control stomach ulcers.
Rock Bee is one of the important pollinators at higher altitudes of Nagaland. Most of the rock bee sites tend to be located in areas of high altitude approximately 2500m -3000m above sea level. Rockbee builds a large open nest with a single comb, on rocky cliff sides. They are a wild species and live in places away from human interference making them difficult to domesticate. Rock bees migrate over far distances and their foraging range almost 4 to 5 kms.
High up in the mountains of Kiphire district of Nagaland, groups of indigenous men risk their lives to harvest the highly valued wild honey from hives on cliffs. Without wearing any protective clothing, the hunters climb up a ladder made of bamboo and rope carrying basket, a knife and a smoker to sedate the bees before the honey is collected. Behavioral patterns of the Rockbee indicates returning to its original nesting sites and hence it is crucial to harvest from time to time to create spaces for the bees to make their hives.
