Basic introduction of Conghua lychee honey

Conghua is a famous hometown of lychee and one of the national lychee production bases. Conghua is located in the northern part of Guangzhou, with a subtropical climate. The Tropic of Cancer passes through the city, and the climate is mild, with abundant sunshine and rainfall, making it very suitable for the growth of lychee. Conghua's lychee quality, variety, and large yield have laid a good foundation for the production of lychee honey

The two main quality characteristics of Conghua lychee honey are reflected in the fact that the honey source plant must be lychee flowers within the protected area, and the honeybee species used is Chinese honeybees, which also creates the characteristic of Conghua lychee honey having a more fragrant and rich aroma and higher sweetness compared to lychee honey from other production areas

The bee species resource for collecting lychee honey in Conghua is Zhongfeng. Conghua is close to the South China Sea and has sufficient water vapor sources in the air, often forming high temperature and high humidity weather. The warm climate is very conducive to the reproduction and honey collection of bees, especially Zhongfeng. Due to its strong stress resistance and adaptability to the high temperature and high humidity climate in Conghua, Zhongfeng can reproduce normally all year round without overwintering. Chinese bees have strong disease resistance and are less affected by pests. They do not require the use of antibiotics or other treatments to prevent diseases, so the lychee honey produced does not contain antibiotics. Chinese bees produce mature honey, which ripens the fastest. The enzyme value secreted by honey is low, resulting in low moisture content and high quality; Another reason why Conghua lychee honey has a prominent fragrance is that it does not collect tree resin, resulting in a more fragrant honey
