Andrew Newey. Honey Hunters of Nepal.

High in the Himalayan foothills of central Nepal Gurung honey hunters gather twice a year, risking their lives to harvest the honey from the world’s largest honeybee. For hundreds of years, the skills required to practise this ancient and sacred tradition have been passed down through the generations, but now both the number of bees and traditional honey hunters are in rapid decline as a result of increased commercial interests and climate change.

Andrew Newey is a British photographer and visual storyteller who has spent more than 20 years travelling the world to capture compelling images of our beautiful planet and its people. His multi award winning photos of the unseen and the extraordinary have been published widely in print and digital media worldwide.
