On July 5, 2024, a Gurung man was photographed enjoying freshly harvested beehive under the Himalayas in Nepal. The Gurung people climb precarious cliffs up to 50 meters high to collect the hallucinogenic 'mad honey' produced by the giant Himalayan honeybees. Before embarking on the risky honey collection expedition, they sacrifice chickens, sprinkle blood, and perform rituals to appease the mountain gods. The honey contains Grayanotoxin, which can induce relaxation and euphoria in small amounts but can cause dizziness, nausea, and even hallucinations in excess. The Gurung people use handmade tools and ropes to carefully cut down the beehives, while also using smoke to drive away the bees. Despite the dangers, the Gurung people have been harvesting honey in this manner for generations.

On July 5, 2024, Gurung people from Nepal are risking their lives on cliff walls to harvest the 'mad honey' that causes hallucinations. Due to increasing global warming, the harvest of these rare honeycombs has become scarce, making it harder for the Gurung community to sustain themselves. The honey is produced by the giant Himalayan bees collecting nectar from rhododendron flowers containing 'Grayanotoxin.' Consuming this 'mad honey' can induce relaxation and euphoria in small amounts, but in excess can lead to dizziness, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, and even convulsions. Despite various plants containing Grayanotoxin, honey from different regions like Taiwan is less likely to cause such effects compared to honey from Turkey and Nepal. Gurung people, who earn by selling this unique honey, are facing challenges due to climate change affecting bee populations and honey production.
