This toxic honey is highly sought after because it is believed to improve sexual performance and cholesterol levels, just as it is a potential treatment for conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

Superstitious collectors follow the moon and for a safe harvest, they only pick it up on certain days. Rhododendron honey or Turkish honey is considered the finest and highest quality hallucinogenic honey. Rhododendron ponticum is grown at an altitude of nearly 2,000 metres and processed directly on site. Rhododendron honey is also called candy honey. Also, Pontic honey is known as crazy honey. Some call it “white honey” or “crazy honey”. Rhododendron honey with its unique taste is – in small quantities – excellent for proper cooking and can be used, among other things, to sweeten hot drinks or as a spread. If Turkish honey is taken pure, an intoxicating effect can quickly occur. Crazy honey is legal all over the world, except in South Korea.

Pontic honey or crazy honey or poisonous honey or Turkish wild honey is a bee honey with high proportions of toxic active ingredients from the pollen and nectar of Rhododendron ponticum, which is found almost monodominant in the undergrowth of the forests of some parts of the southern Pontic region, here the Turkish Black Sea coast. Consumption can cause symptoms of poisoning in humans, such as nausea, vomiting or hallucinations. Native to eastern Turkey, wild honey is extracted from the nectar of rhododendron plants. There are over 700 varieties of these flowers and unlike your conventional bee honey, they are pollinated by larger, more aggressive bees called “Del Bali”. Nowadays, rural Turkish beekeepers release Del Bali honey for the extraction of this Bali honey on rhododendron flower fields. Rhododendron honey is a very sticky substance.

Some wonder why honey hunters in Nepal take such a risk to harvest honey from Nepal – in the Himalayan region, it is also called Deli Bal honey. Certainly, on the one hand, it is the intense and sweet taste. In addition, it is the healing effect that makes honey from Nepal so special. Rhododendron honey plays an essential role in erectile dysfunction and other types of potency disorders, but also in fighting infections or wound healing. This fast and reliable mode of action of Nepalese honey has even spread beyond the borders of Nepal. Japanese, Chinese and Koreans also appreciate the healing effect of rhododendron honey. In this country, however, it is difficult to get rhododendron honey or crazy honey, because hallucinogenic honey is one of the illegal foods that cannot be imported into the country without any other form of trial due to the neurotoxin it contains.

For generations, the Gurung people have hunted honey honey bee nests from the Apis dorsata laboriosa cliffs twice a year. A reckless company, because in fact, you shouldn`t play with the best. The giant black and white ringed bee is aptly named after him and, with a length of up to three centimeters, is considered the largest honey bee in the world. Thus, the mist surpasses even our native hornet, where workers reach only two and a half centimeters. As the name Nepalese honey suggests, “liquid gold” comes from the Himalayan region. Honeycombs are suspended on almost vertical rock walls. Harvesting therefore requires a lot of tact, courage, a lot of skill and years of experience. The inhabitants of the Gurung tribe of the Pokhara region have always been known for this. Instead of using the latest technology to extract honey from Nepal, they still rely on traditional methods. The people of the Himalayan region believe that honey from Nepal is a gift from their gods.

Honey harvesting is therefore not considered “normal” work, but special rituals are organized in advance and animal sacrifices are offered. In this way, the gods must be appeased, the honey hunters are protected on their way to the cliffs, and the harvest is successful. Even loud songs should make bees sweet. The ancient rites of the inhabitants of the Himalayas are like a kind of request for forgiveness – for people who steal the precious honey of Nepal from the rock or the honey bees of the cliffs (Apis laboriosa). The effects of crazy honey, rightly called crazy honey, are widely known today and even the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment warns against rhododendron honey from the Black Sea region.
