The last bee-catcher

Xu Qichang said that bee-catching is a skilled job. Each time before going up the mountains, he has to make beehives out of old wood and prepare bait mixed of honey, brown sugar, beeswax. He brushes the inside of the beehives with bait, and then places them on the cliffs. The beehives will attract wild bees within a range of two or three kilometers. [Photo by Lv Bin/asianewsphoto]
