There is no real rock honey that is as hard as a stone

As a Yunnan native, some things that seem ordinary and rare to outsiders are not strange here.

I remember the first time I went up to the West Mountain on the edge of Dianchi Lake in Kunming, on the way back, I saw a rural man with a few stone-like things in front of him. He said: "This is authentic rock honey, 80 yuan a kilogram, which can clear away heat and reduce fire, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough, etc., which is very good for the body."

This was the first time I had seen rock honey, a large yellow rock with some moss around it, a few small pieces next to it, and an axe.

Rock honey like stones.

To be honest, I really can't believe it.

Because, I am also from the countryside, and besides, we also have rock honey in our place, and the rock honey in our place is all liquid or crystalline, and I have never seen anything that looks like a stone. I express my genuine doubts.

I tasted a small piece and to be honest it smelled good, it tasted sweet, and it tasted a little sour.

However, I was worried that there would be a problem after eating, so I still didn't buy it, leaving the boss with an unhappy look and turned away.

Only today, I started to ** rock honey, someone asked me, since it is a rock honey seller, is there any rock honey like a stone? How much is a pound?

I was confused, and later, I checked a lot of information and found that it was fake honey.

1. Bees build nests and make honey in the cracks of rocks, and they have their own nest spleen, rather than mixing with rocks.

Real rock honey.

2. Real rock honey is liquid or crystalline.

3. Most of this honey is artificially made. Generally, it is formed after processing and cooling with white sugar, honey, flavor, tap water, etc., and some will stick to the moss, weeds, or a thin honeycomb to increase the sense of realism.

Therefore, if you see "rock honey" that looks like a stone on the side of the street, don't buy it.

Real rock honey.

Wild rock honey is "rock honey" made by wild bees that build nests on cliffs and crystallize themselves. This honey is produced in very small quantities, and it takes more than ten years to form a piece. In addition, wild rock honey is mainly liquid or crystalline, and does not be a whole piece like a stone.

Those buddies who say no, maybe they haven't seen it, so let's say that. This honey does exist, wild honey, which has been formed naturally over many years in the natural environment. We can see that many of them have moss or grass on them, but the original peaks and nests are clearly visible.

It is as hard as a stone and is generally round. It's huge.

There is still rock honey, which is made by the accumulation of pollen and crystalline honey for many years, and the taste is a little sour. Good medicine for health!

The kind is made with sugar and alkali and some chemical raw materials. Honey becomes crystalline and soft. Please don't be fooled.

Because the collection is from the forest, depending on the production area and the type of plant collected, the wild rock honey will show light yellow, brown-red, black and other colors.

Cliff bee has not yet been artificially cultivated, cliff honey is collected from the primeval forest without environmental pollution, there is no agricultural residue and drug residue in the breeding process, it is the best pure natural honey, with high nutritional value and medicinal value. The honeycomb is a single spleen structure, and the thickness of the honey storage part of a nest of cliff bees can reach 20-50cm, and the annual output of a nest is 15-60 kg of honey, which has important economic value.

1. Crystallization is not the standard for judging the authenticity of honey, and the concentration of honey is affected by the season, the type of flower, the temperature and the place of origin. Observing the crystals can tell some, of course, that person can't recognize stupid nerds at all, it's unpredictable, not to mention professional equipment. The method of drawing wire is also outdated, artificial fructose and maltose will also be drawn in the case of a certain concentration, and it will not be instantly absorbed by paper (paper towels, newspapers) on absorbent paper, fructose (available in many milk tea shops) so these two methods are also unreliable.

2. Fragrance The process of dissolving and shrinking has lost the original fragrance, so the fragrance is not reliable, not to mention that we still have a strong fragrance.

3. Taste This is pure nonsense, what kind of taste? Pure, creamy, and endless? It's not that it's incorrect, but how can mortals like us have such profound skills?

4. Strange flowers and herbs: nonsense is very nonsense, reason 1: there are flowers that produce pollen but do not produce honey; Reason 2: Strange flowers are poor but not planted in an area, or even artificially planted at all, all of them are disorderly and wild, is it difficult for bees to pick flowers?

I'm tired of writing, so I'll say a very simple method, which has no scientific basis. Based on my family's more than 30 years of experience in beekeeping and bee product acquisition and sales, as well as the experience of opening a bubble tea shop to observe raw materials: (The following cups are transparent glasses, and the honey is based on the unprocessed linden honey produced in Changbai Mountain this year).

Dissolve the fake honey directly in water, a cup of room temperature, a cup of boiling water: the color is transparent, the taste is sweet, the taste of room temperature and boiling water is the same, there is no other taste, and the water vapor wafting from the boiling water cannot smell the sweet aftertaste of the floral fragrance.

Dissolve the real honey directly in the water, a cup of room temperature, a cup of boiling water: the color is amber (water white, it can be said that there is a sense of turbidity to the light source), the water vapor wafting out of the boiling water has a floral sweet aftertaste, after the boiling water temperature drops, it quickly enters the throat with a slight strange feeling (I have always felt a little similar to the feeling of sour or astringent before, as well as the feeling of choking the throat, and I tried it with linden honey today without these feelings).

Summary: Don't be greedy, don't believe in the honey of any exotic flowers and plants, ignore it, just look at the color of the dissolved water.

Wild honey in its natural environment.

"Wild honey" in the wet market

The honey in the picture can't be faker anymore. This form of honey cannot exist in nature, it is made from white sugar, baking soda, pigments, wasp nests, moss, and passed off as wild honey.

Natural wild honey is relatively rare, and it will naturally be relatively high. It is a sought-after commodity in the place of origin, and it is impossible to sell it in the vegetable market.

Probably not, if there is moss.

There are three main types of methods for identifying real and fake honey:

One: smell single nectar has the unique floral fragrance of this plant, mixed honey has a natural floral flavor, fake honey has sucrose flavor, and some are spice flavor.

Two: Eyes 1Look at the concentration of honey, take a chopstick and insert it into the honey, lift it vertically, the honey with high concentration flows down slowly, the viscosity can be drawn, and it can shrink into a honey ball after breaking, and the fake honey or honey with low concentration is the opposite, even if the filament can be stretched, the broken filament is not elastic and will not shrink into honey beads.

2.A drop of honey can be taken and dropped on the newspaper, pure honey with high concentration is hemispherical and not easy to soak through the newspaper, and low concentration or fake honey is easy to soak through the newspaper. 3.

Take a glass of water, add a little honey, the real honey will quickly sink to the bottom of the cup, it is not easy to melt, when stirring slowly with chopsticks, there will be a slight phenomenon, if it is fake honey, it will soon dissolve into the water. 4.Look at the crystallization, the crystallization of honey is related to the type and temperature of its plants, generally pure natural honey is easy to crystallize at 13-14 degrees Celsius, and the honey that can be fully crystallized generally has low water content, high concentration, and is not easy to deteriorate, so it is high-quality honey.

Crystallized pure honey is twisted by hand, the feel is delicate, no sand, fake honey, not easy to crystallize, or precipitate a part, the sediment is hard, not easy to rub.

Three: taste, pure natural honey, sweet taste, slightly sour, soft and delicate taste, refreshing and soft, slightly spicy in the throat, fragrant aftertaste for a long time, although the fake honey taste is sweet, but mixed with sugar or spice taste. The throat sensation is weak, and the aftertaste is light and short.

In short, to identify the authenticity of honey, there may be some errors in a single method, you can apply multiple methods to identify a honey at the same time, and under normal circumstances, you can determine the authenticity of honey.

The real rock honey is the crystalline honey with spleen, and its formation process is: after the bee abandons the nest, the residual honeycomb spleen in the nest can be formed through natural frost, suitable temperature, and natural air drying, so it is relatively rare.

In Yunnan, there are roughly two types of bees and four species: multi-spleen and single-spleen, and polyspleen has Chinese honeybee, which is a common breeding (burrowing) bee in rural areas; In addition, there is a relatively large body size, nesting on the tree bee, locally called "horse bee", this kind of bee will migrate according to the season, the change of nectar source, these two kinds of bees have more than 5 spleens, so we call it multi-spleen bees. Single-spleen honey bees have:

The nesting on the cliff is called the rock bee, the nesting on the small shrubs is called the small bee, the local people call it "fly bee" or "grass bee", the honey (sub) spleen of these two bees is a single spleen, the honey is connected to the rock (branch tree) at the junction of the nest spleen and the rock (branch tree), and the sub-spleen is connected with it. However, no matter what kind of bee honey, its color, character, and taste are roughly the same, it is possible to form rock honey, and the key points to distinguish its authenticity are: the shape is the same as the original honey with spleen, the waxy spleen is clearly distinguishable, the taste is fragrant, sweet and slightly sour, and the weight of each piece is only tens of grams to hundreds of grams.

Rock honey is very rare, and the street selling is generally fake, and there may be the following two consequences after eating: 1. If you eat even the wasp hive, because the beehive is poisonous, the poisoning symptoms are mild nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea; In severe cases, it can be life-threatening; 2. Because of the addition of excessive alkali, excessive consumption will damage your digestive tract.

The old Kaiyuan Mengzi Jianshui Jinping estuary Green Spring wild honey was purchased and sold.

Hello! What kind of disease do you need to treat for this kind of honey?
