The Wichi indigenous people live in the arid zone of the central Chaco, a land characterized by little rain for much of the year and intense downpours in the month of November. One of the most important products for the community is honey gathered from wild bees, known in the indigenous language as twatsaj. The Wichi are not beekeepers; they do not rear the bees in hives, but collect the honey from hollow trees.
