What is the difference between honey obtained from square boxes and round barrels of native bees?

Barrel farming and square box farming are just external forms of a farm workshop, there is no difference between the honey obtained from both types of farming.

A long time ago, there was actually no square box farming. Square boxes are called live-frame farming; and drum farming is a traditional farming method, an ancient way of farming, so that the honey produced gives the impression of earth honey, good honey.

The reason why people think that the honey collected by the bees in round barrel farming is good, in fact, it is confused by a concept, that is, everyone defaults to the round barrel farming is the Chinese bee, and the square box farming is the Italian bee. In fact, the two are not necessarily related. Because of the many advantages of square box and live frame farming in terms of honey extraction and management of bees, square box and live frame is also used in the farming of many Chinese bees and native bees.

While many places claim to use the traditional ancient farming method of round barrels, in fact, this is only a difference in appearance, and there is no difference in essence, and native bees and Italian bees are not differentiated by beehives, and native bees can be farmed in round barrels or square boxes. Italian bees can only use square boxes, and most of them are double-layered. The square box has a movable spleen, which is easy to see, clean and collect honey later.

Extended information:

Based on the different ways of producing honey, it can be categorized into separated honey, hive honey, pressed honey and so on.

Separated honey

Separated honey, also known as separated honey or pressed honey, is honey that is removed from the hive and placed in a honey shaker to be shaken and filtered by centrifugal force, or honey that is separated from the spleen and filtered by pressing the spleen. This fresh honey is generally in a transparent liquid state, some separated honey will crystallize after a period of time, for example, rape honey will crystallize soon after taking out, some separated honey will crystallize after a period of time at low temperature.

Nest honey

Nest honey, also known as lattice honey, the use of biological characteristics of bees, in the specification of the hive brewing out of the hive with honey honey honey block, nest honey has the effect of both the separation of honey, but also has the characteristics of the hive, is a kind of high-grade natural honey products known as. According to the law of honey flow of honey plants and the habit of honey bees to cover the honey spleen, people can produce single honey according to different formats, and a hive frame can be divided into 4, 8 and 12 blocks. Experiments have proved that as long as there are enough external honey sources, bees are able to make spleen, fill honey and cover the frame regardless of the size of the square. The larger the area of a single honey block, the faster the capping.

The hive honey sold on the market is made of transparent and non-toxic hard plastic with different sizes and shapes of grids or cover the whole honey spleen sealed with a knife to split into a certain shape of honey blocks and hard plastic boxes of hive honey, the first to make a certain format of the hive frame, and then small pieces of the nest base embedded in the grid, loaded into the frame and put it into the honey swarm to allow bees to create a spleen within the grids, storage of honey, capping the honey into the honey, honey, honey, and single-sided, brewed into a honey, honey and honey. There are double-sided and single-sided honey. After brewing the honey that meets the specifications, the mature honey is taken off, boxed and packaged to become the commercial honey on the market.

Pressed honey

Pressed honey is the honey obtained from the old method of beekeeping and harvesting wild honey.
