With over 3.5 Million Gurungs living in Nepal, the Gurung people are found all over the country and beyond. However, near the peaks of Himalayas, beyond which no human settlements are found, lives a secretive Gurung tribe called the honey hunters, in the secret villages that are surrounded by thick forests.
In these high forests live a certain kind of bee, the world’s largest honey bee – The Giant Bee of Himalayas (up to 3 cm length) – are found in huge nests built on the overhanging rocks of cliff faces. These nests can reach up to 5 feet in diameter and each of these nests can contain about 60 kg of honey! But that is not even the most interesting part about them yet…
The honey made by these bees is a product that comes from the nectar of kinds of poisonous flowers. That is probably what makes this honey – Red Honey – medicinal, intoxicating and hallucinogenic. Since it is difficult to harvest and has special properties, this kind of honey is expensive and sells for about 4 times the price of normal honey in the foreign market. So, the honey hunters take absurd risks to get the honey from overhanging nests up in the cliffs.
Also, besides the mad hallucinogenic honey, another awesome thing I did not know was that bees create a Mexican wave to warn the attackers approaching their nest. Seen at 14:40 of the documentary below.
I stumbled upon this amazingly beautiful 25-minute documentary by Raphael Treza which takes you through the ways of this tribe and their mad honey hunting ritual.
Also, you can’t miss this detailed Photo-documentary which beautifully captures, in still images, the Gurung tribe’s ways. [Here]

THANK YOU!!!
WHAT’S THE STREET VALUE?
Hi besides the over use of this honey, can it be used in moderation to help with anxiety? I am always seeking alternative medicine instead of pills prescribed by doctors that can do more harm than good. Great video, I was glued to it! Thank you!!
if you wannna walk the therapeutic path forget the honey and try magic mushroom therapy
It is sad and cruel that these pagans have to take a life of animals to go and rob other animals of their ONLY food..honey..Animals always get the wrong end of the stick..CONCEITED HUMANS!!
Hi Roseann, I understand and get your concern.
I’m not looking at this as a way to wipe out or kill anything, I’m looking at it as an alternative to traditional medicine. I don’t want large jars or having gotten it in an illegal way. I have always looked to plants or any other way that is less invasive than prescribed medication. if done correctly and not in a way to destroy that particular species of honey bees I don’t see the harm. If they do things correctly like they do for raw honey sold in stores, and it can be done correctly than I don’t see the harm.
Want a jar of toxic red Himalayan honey to try
I appreciate the efforts you people put in to share blogs on such kind of topics, it was really helpful. Keep Posting!
People, the seller off FB has the honey but wants excessive amount of cash for $$!!.
Good luck paying up, hope for the price it will intoxicate you and get what you want.
