While grazing animals in Elazığ, a shepherd noticed natural honey made by bees in a crevice of a steep rock and extracted the treasure-like honey after hours of effort.

HE NOTICED IT WHEN HE SAW THE FLYING BEES

Doğan Eser, who was out grazing cattle in the rural area of Yüzev village, noticed bees flying intensely around a steep rocky area. Examining the area, Eser determined that the bees had built a nest in a crevice among the rocks and that there was honey there.

HE STRUGGLED FOR 3 HOURS

Putting on special protective gear he obtained, Eser reached the nest with the help of a ladder, and after about 3 hours of work, he removed the stone in front of the crevice and collected the honey. Afterwards, Eser placed a hive near the nest to gather the bees.

THOSE MOMENTS ON CAMERA

Meanwhile, Eser's honey extraction process was recorded with a mobile phone camera.
