When seven stings from the nepalese honey bees can be fatal, you really don't want to be stuck 300ft in the air next to their hive.

Natural World: Honey Hunting In Nepal
Jimmy Doherty, a young British farmer, fanatical about honey, is facing a new challenge. Can he overcome the dangers to harvest the highly prized Himalayan honey from nests on cliffs 300ft high? Nepalese wild honey is one of the most sought after varieties. Due to their size, Himalayan giant bees are able to forage at extremely high altitude, collecting nectar from the flowers blooming way up into the mountains. Nepalese honey hunters have mastered the art of harvesting this treasured prize from cliffs over 300ft high - an incredibly demanding task, fraught with danger. Will Jimmy be able to summon the courage to descend the handmade bamboo ladder over the edge of the cliff to attempt to fulfil a lifelong ambition?

"They can't speak English and I can't speak Nepali" Sounds like very poor planning to me...

There is a fire lit at the bottom of the cliff, wafting the column of smoke up the whole cliff face.
Why don't you have the proper clothing on for bee's? Then you wouldn't be getting stung
