Wild Honey Farmers Climb Mountains, Get Covered in Bees For That Sugary Gold

Over generations, we’ve developed a pretty foolproof method for getting bees to make honey for us. You get a bee box, build up a colony, and soon, those boys are making liquid gold for you for free! It couldn’t get any easier!

However, there’s recently been a growing desire for “wild honey.” This is where bees are allowed to freely roam and place their hives wherever they end up, which purists insist offers a beautiful flavor that you just can’t get from bee-box honey.

In theory, this is fine. In practice, it means that people have to climb up mountains and get covered in bees in order to harvest the goods.

Is it worth it? You pay the massive price tag and tell me!
