In Shennongjia National Nature Reserve, central China's Hubei Province, hundreds of wooden boxes densely hang off a steep cliff, creating a visual spectacle.

Fearless beekeepers perch on cliffs to check on hives and collect honey with a sling. Why are bees raised on cliffs? What's special about honey collected from the cliff? Join CGTN to explore how honey is collected from beehives hanging off a rocky cliff in central China's Shennongjia National Nature Reserve.
