This photograph captures only a few seconds of a much longer story. A hunter carrying the bamboo that will help take him closer to the cliffside hives, while another follows behind, with the work still ahead of them. There is no honey in their hands yet. Only the weight of what they have carried, the mountain beneath their feet, and the knowledge that the hardest part of the harvest begins long before the first drop is brought down. Every step takes them closer to the cliffs, but also carries years of knowledge about where to go, when to harvest and how to return with what the mountain gives them.
