Filtering the wild raw honey
The honey harvester banging the torch on the branches above the nest. Bees attracted to the glow of the falling embers are diverted away from the nest temporarily for the honey harvester to finish the harvest.
Building a makeshift ladder to reach the honeycombs
Cooking jungle vegetables in bamboo
Adding water to cook the bamboo rice
Preparing bamboo rice wrapped with Lerek leaf (Phrynium pubinerve) gives a distinctive taste
Preparing young bamboo shoot for stir fry
Giant honey bee (Apis dorsata) hive about 13 feet from the ground
Asian honey bee (Apis cerana) - relocation to a community garden
Red dwarf honey bee (Apis florea) - some of them with full yellow pollen baskets
Greater banded hornet (Vespa tropica) is a predator to honey bees
Stingless bee hives (Lepidotrigona terminata) & (Tetrigona apicalis) constructed using tree resin
Pill millipede can roll into a ball when disturbed

At dusk, thousands of Sunda Flying Fox (Acerodon mackloti) leave their roost heading to feeding grounds. The Sunda Flying Fox is endemic to Indonesia.
Stingless bee (Heterotrigona itama) moving its egg around. Hive with double entrance/exit funnel means the colony is doing well.
Red dwarf honey bee (Apis florea) workers are among the smallest honey bees in the world (body length of 7โ10 mm) with the queen, measuring about 20 mm, is around twice the length of a worker. In the midst of the bustling concrete jungle where a suitable plant branch is few and far between, nesting on a high-rise window pane will do.
