Chinese honey is mainly raised in designated areas. The brewing cycle of this honey is very long, so its maturity is relatively high, and the nutrition of honey is relatively higher than that of ordinary Italian bees. Beekeepers in Kaihua refer to earth honey as "thousand nectar". There are over two thousand species of plants and trees in Gutian Mountain, and thousands of flowers that can collect honey. This kind of honey is particularly rich and mellow, much thicker than the honey brewed by artificial beekeeping using square boxes
