Sustainable Harvest
The first recorded sustainable honey-harvest of a rafter here took place in 2005, and although it's still too early to to gauge the overall impact of this introduced innovation on the local Giant Honeybee population, it is fair to say that sustainable harvesting certainly plays an important role in reversing the negative impact of the one-cut-take-all harvesting tradition practiced throughout this country.
By actively promoting/encouraging the sustainable honey-harvesting of Giant Honeybees (Apis dorsata ), Bees Unlimited hopes this practice one day becomes an integral part of the rafter beekeeping tradition, and eventually spreads to other honey-hunting communities in Cambodia.
Why not contact Bees Unlimited--Your Temple Tour Alternative for a TOUR, and an opportunity to witness sustainable honey-harvesting up close and in person... keeping in mind that this normally takes place between November and April.
