The Honey Collectors of Sundarbans
Honey collectors collect honey from the jungles in Sunderban. It is lucrative but dangerous and many fall preys to the tigers. The method itself is outdated. They smoke the hive by burning Hetal leaves. Once the bees disperse, they cut the hive quickly and leave but not before getting stung.
