Extracting hive sweetness
Honey gathering is the practice of collecting honey from beehives, whether wild or domesticated.
The term covers both ancient foraging methods—climbing trees to raid wild colonies—and modern beekeeping harvests.
Honey gathering has been depicted in cave paintings dating back thousands of years.
