What bees make good honey? How bees make honey

The native bee is often referred to as the Chinese bee, which can use sporadic nectar source plants, with strong collection ability, long cycle of nectar collection, adaptability and resistance to mites and diseases, and the consumption of feed is relatively small, and the sense of smell is more sensitive. However, the snout of the soil bee is relatively short, and some nectar source plants cannot be collected.

Italian bees are more docile, but the disease resistance is weaker, their bee colonies are stronger, and more alert, in the case of better honey flow, the quality of their honey collection is revealed. Their snout is longer than that of the earth bee, and due to the influence of habits, they are more interested in large sources of nectar, and some sporadic nectar sources will not be collected, and some single nectar can be collected.

However, under the premise of natural mature honey, whether it is Italian honey or soil honey, it is good honey, and you can choose a honey that suits you according to your actual situation.

What kind of bee makes honey is good, of course, it is wild bees, but there are not many wild bees, and the honey brewed by artificially bred bees depends on what kind of flowers are picked.

First of all, let's briefly talk about the classification of honey, honey can be divided into medium honey and Italian honey according to the different bee varieties that produce honey, which is the main honey variety on the market, of course, there are others, such as black honey, etc., the output is very small and is not discussed here. Italian honey and medium honey can be divided into single nectar and multi-flower nectar.

Monofloral nectar refers to honey made by bees mainly collecting the nectar of a nectar source plant; Multifloral nectar refers to honey made by bees collecting nectar from two or more nectar source plants. In general, the quality of monofloral nectar is better than that of polyfloral nectar. The acacia honey, jujube honey, vitex honey and so on we see in the market are all monofloral honey, and the vast majority of the merchants selling honey advertise that the hundred flower honey is multi-flower honey.

After understanding the classification of honey, let's talk about what kind of honey is good. In fact, the Ministry of Commerce formulated the grade standard for honey many years ago, which is divided into four grades. The first-class honey is of the best quality, in order, and the following is the specific order of these honeys.

First-class honey: acacia honey, lychee honey, vitex honey, linden honey, hairy water honey, citrus honey, herb honey, milk vetch honey, honey and other honey varieties.

Second-class honey: jujube nectar, rape honey, cotton honey, alfalfa honey, old melon head honey, sunflower honey, bush branch honey, vetch honey, white thorn nectar, Yebazi honey.

The third-class honey is black tree honey, longan honey, sesame honey, etc.

Extraneous honey is buckwheat honey, eucalyptus honey, duck's foot wood honey, and earth honey using the old pot honey extraction method.

The bee goes out to look for nectar, and when it finds it, it sucks the nectar into the honey sac in its body, which is like a bag of things. After the bees have collected the honey sacs, they fly back to the hive and spit out the nectar in the honey sac in the nest.

Once the nectar is brought back to the hive, the honey is brewed repeatedly by the bees in the hive, and finally the bees cover it.
