During the little honey season in April and May, the harvests are smaller than during the big season in August and September. Several nests are harvested each day. The period with an abundance of honey is called “Nbosso”, August September. Everybody is in the forest and there's no one left in the village. It's during this period that the “Douma”, the honey wine, is made.///A plus de 40 mètres du sol, les chasseurs de miel enfument les abeilles et récoltent le miel de la canopée. Pendant la petite saison du miel en mars avril, les récoltes sont moins importantes que lors de la grande saison du miel en août septembre. Plusieurs nids sont récoltés chaque jour. La période de l’abondance du miel est appelée « Nbosso » Aout Septembre. Tout le monde est en forêt et il n’y a plus personne au village. C’est pendant cette période qu’est fabriqué le « Douma », le vin de miel.
