There are at least eight to 10 people on a cliff honey gathering team. Three people pull the rope, one stays at the bottom of the cliff, one is in charge of lighting fires and smoke, and the other three are responsible for cutting off the honey comb to get the honey. All the people are supporting the great master who is suspended to ensure his safety, as well as cooperating with him perfectly and trying to catch the bucket that weighs more than ten kilograms. The honey guardian spends two hours going to the cliff peak with the rope and making a rope ladder. Sige said the longest ladder they have seen was 800 meters long and strong enough to bear two honey gatherers.
