This document serves as a technical guideline for the sustainable collection and management of wild honey in Cambodia, deeply rooted in indigenous community traditions. It highlights environmental threats like forest decline and details the biological lifecycle of honeybees (Apis dorsata). Furthermore, it provides structured methods for sustainable harvesting—recommending an 80% harvest limit to preserve wild colonies—and outlines strict hygiene controls during multi-stage filtration, quality inspection, and packaging processes to eliminate contamination, build consumer trust, and stabilize local community honey markets.
