Honey Bees-Hunt-Pygmy058.tif


In a Marantaceae forest, the honey-hunters climb the lianas to harvest a bees nest that had been located in the night. The honey-hunters get up before dawn to inspect the traps but also to be able to locate in the silence the sound of the bees fanning. A branch is cut near the tree to mark their discovery.///Dans une forêt à Marantaceae, les chasseurs montent aux lianes pour récolter un nid d’abeilles qui a été repéré la nuit. Les chasseurs se lève avant l’aurore pour inspecter les pièges mais aussi pouvoir dans le silence de la fin de la nuit repérer au son la ventilation des abeilles. Une branche est coupé près de l’arbre pour marquer la propriété de la découverte.
