Honey hunting is one of the many activities that form part of the ancient culture of numerous civilizations.
Scientists have estimated through rock painting documentation that honey hunting was practiced as far back as 13,000 BC.
Then a fire is lit at the base of the cliff to smoke the bees from their honeycombs.
From above, a honey hunter descends the cliff harnessed to a ladder by ropes.
