We make raw honey and royal jelly honey from it. Apis cerana is Nepal’s native bee. It is found mostly in the hills and mountainous regions of Nepal. Apis laboriosa is the bee found at the cliff of the Himalayas, and to collect the honey from these beehives is an extremely challenging and precarious task.
