How to identify wild honey?

In recent years, with the development of the Internet, especially the rise of Taobao and WeChat, there are more and more concepts of honey. Merchants come up with various names to sell honey. I believe many people are confused by these names. Today Bian Xiao will help you find out the similarities and differences between these different honeys.

First, let's start with the simplest "honey". Honey is actually a general term, which means that bees collect nectar to make honey, but because of different kinds of bees, the names of the extracted honey are different. Most of the honey we usually understand is honey collected by Italian bees.

As the picture above shows, there are many forms of beekeeping that we usually see. These are all Italian bees, which were introduced from abroad. Because Italian bees have a high yield and adapt to migration, many people breed in China. Most of the honey we usually drink is Italian honey.

I believe many people have heard of earth honey, and the word probably became popular from a treasure. The actual scientific name of this local honey is China honey, which is brewed by a traditional bee-Chinese bee. Because soil bees are mostly cultivated in mountainous areas, they are not suitable for migration, and they can only produce honey 1-2 times a year. The output is very scarce and the price is relatively high. Most people can't eat authentic local honey. But on a treasure, many merchants will sell Italian honey by the heat of local honey. Therefore, if you want to drink earth honey, you'd better let your friends and colleagues bring it from your hometown. Try not to believe it easily online.

Let's talk about this wild honey again. As the name implies, honey collected by non-cultured bees is generally more in mountainous areas of Yunnan. There are many kinds of non-cultured bees in the big forest. As long as they can produce honey, they can all be called wild honey.

Because wild honey is often in forests or cliffs, it is very difficult to harvest it manually, so the quantity is much rarer than that of native honey, so it is almost impossible to have a lot of commercial wild honey. If a friend is lucky enough to know the honey picker, it can be authentic, otherwise don't be paranoid.

What does farmer honey mean? Generally, micro-businesses selling honey like to call their honey farms honey and handmade honey. In fact, to put it bluntly, most of them are Italian honey, and very few are local honey. Anyway, WeChat business likes to call it that, as long as everyone knows it, it's nothing special.

Black honey may be more common in the north, and it is a kind of black bee raised in a fixed place in the northeast. The main honey variety is linden honey, and the yield is ok, not rare, and nothing particularly magical. Don't be fooled by the merchants, just consider it normal.
