The honey collectors of Bangladesh are a few of the most dedicated people to their jobs. Every now and then, they travel to different places in the country, like the jungles of the Sundarbans, and collect beehives. As risky as it is, these skilled collectors do it with utmost ease and perfection. 

After collecting the beehives, they travel to local households or sit on streets and extract the honey from the hives and bottle it up, right in front of their customers, who then get a supply of the freshest of honey.
