When is the best time to cut honey?

Due to different honey sources, the main flower species of winter honey are different, but Baihua honey is the best. Nectar harvested in winter is generally darker in color than other seasons, containing more minerals and more complete nutrients. Moreover, due to the dry air in winter, the concentration of nest honey at this time is higher than that harvested in other seasons, so the quality is better, while traditional indigenous beekeeping generally cuts honey around winter, hence the name "Winter Honey".

Honey cutting method

Unlike the common boxed honey in the market, which can be harvested many times, the bottled honey brewed by ground bees can only be harvested once a year, and this harvest is destructive. After picking the honey in the bee barrel, it will be cut together with the hive, so it is called honey cutting. Soil bees raised in indigenous barrels are harvested with honey.

Honey can be used as an auxiliary treatment for the weak and sick and the recovery after illness. It is very beneficial for the elderly with hypertension to drink 1 cup of honey water every morning and evening, because the potassium in honey can excrete sodium and maintain the electrolyte balance in the blood; Patients with chronic hepatitis and poor liver function often eat honey to improve liver function; For patients with chronic diseases such as tuberculosis and gastrointestinal ulcer, honey is a good nutrient and can enhance their physical fitness.
