Fantris Kumanireng packs Rumadu honey at the Senoesa Cooperative in Duntana village, Titehena district,East Flores regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Wednesday  (2/8). The Senoesa Cooperative partners with local honey collectors to use environmentally friendly methods in harvesting and extracting wild honey to obtain higher prices and to sustain the local honeybee population.

Flores has a wealth of natural resources, including wild honey from the forests on the island, which lies between the Sawu and Flores seas. Its diverse geography produces honey of varied flavors.

On Flores, one of the three largest islands in East Nusa Tenggara, honey can be found in a mangrove forest. On the same island, honey is also found in mountains forests. The journey between the two distinct regions takes less than four hours.
