How much is a catty of earth honey?

Earth honey is brewed from nectar collected from various plants by bees in China, so it is also called Baihua honey or Zhongmi honey in some places. It is produced in most areas of China, but the yield of local honey is extremely low, only 1 ~ 2 times a year, so it is often expensive, and its price is generally 100 ~ 300 Jin Yuan. Let's know about honey and its price. 1. What is earth honey?

Native honey does not mean "native" honey, but "native bee" honey. How to understand this sentence? This has to start with the current domestic bee species. At present, there are two kinds of artificial bees in China: Italian bees and China bees. Honey (mature honey) brewed by China bees from Shan Ye flowers can be called medium honey or earth honey, while honey produced by Italian bees can't be called earth honey even if it is planted in rural areas, so the focus of earth honey is "earth bees" rather than "earth".

Simply put, soil honey refers to honey brewed by soil bees. According to the definition, to be called earth honey, three conditions must be met. First, the earth honey must be brewed by the earth bee (Chinese bee); second, the raw material of the earth honey must be the nectar of Shan Ye Baihua; third, the earth honey must be completely mature and sealed by the earth bee. If one of these three conditions is missing, it can't be called earth honey.

Second, how much is a catty of earth honey?

The price of local honey is generally 100 ~ 300 Jin Yuan, while the price of ordinary honey is basically around 40 ~ 60 yuan. In fact, there are two main reasons for the obvious price difference between the two. First, the nutrient content of soil honey is much richer than that of ordinary honey, and second, the output of soil honey is much scarcer than that of ordinary honey, so it is not surprising that soil honey with richer nutrition and scarcer output is more expensive to sell.

Third, the purchase skills of local honey

1, the biggest feature of earth honey is that the yield is relatively scarce. In fact, a swarm of bees in China can't produce much native honey in a year. This feature is reflected in the fact that the price of earth honey is often more expensive, so the price of real earth honey is rarely lower than that of 80 yuan, and the earth honey of twenty or thirty yuan or even ten yuan can only be syrup. In addition, selling thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kilograms of earth honey is definitely fake.

2. Fake earth honey tastes worse than other honey. When buying, we must comprehensively identify the color, fragrance, taste and crystallization. Among them, the color of earth honey is mostly amber or deep amber, with a hint of Chinese herbal medicine in the fragrance, sweet but not greasy in taste and slightly spicy in the throat. In addition, earth honey will crystallize at low temperature, and after crystallization, it will be light yellow or amber lard.
