Zhang Xuefeng, the beekeeper of Ziwuling primeval forest.
The vast virgin forest in Ziwuling, Longdong is located in Qingyang City and consists of Huachi, Ningxian, Heshui and Zhengning counties. It is located in the temperate climate zone and has the typical landform in the hilly and gully region of the Loess Plateau. The vegetation on the Loess Plateau is dominated by natural secondary forests, with a forest coverage rate of 84.42% and an area of 37,350 hectares.
Huaxi Valley Scenic Area is located in Lianjiabian Village, Taibai Town, Heshui County, covering an area of 954.55 mu. It is an eco-tourism area integrating flower sea sightseeing, ecological leisure and health preservation.
Huaxi Valley is integrated with the lush Ziwuling. In summer, the flowery human landscape in the valley and the green natural landscape on the ridge are combined into one, and the empty valley is quiet and unique.
Huaxi Valley is colorful, full of weather and beautiful. All kinds of flowers are dazzling. Tourists not only brighten people's eyes, but also have a pleasant physical and mental effect, making people completely immersed in this romantic purple ocean for a second and unable to extricate themselves.
Zhang Xuefeng, a beekeeper in Laozhuangwan Village, Tianchi Township, Huan County, was born in 1985 and 1 two months. After graduating from Longdong Middle School, I was 19 years old due to life reasons.
Six years ago, in my spare time, I invited some friends to Lianjia, Taibai Town, Heshui County, and was attracted by the local wild bees. He learned from the local people that the most important thing in the virgin forest is the native bee-also known as the Chinese bee. He tasted the local wild China honey and found it delicious, fresh and delicious. I bought 10 kilograms one by one and went home to drink for a while. I was pleasantly surprised to find that constipation, which had troubled him for many years, had improved unconsciously. He was surprised by the magical medicinal value of wild honey in the virgin forest, so he made up his mind to raise wild Chinese bees in the depths of Huaxi Valley.
Chinese bee, also known as Chinese bee or native bee, is an ancient bee species in China. Small size, strong ability to collect small honey sources (mountain flowers, wild flowers, etc.). ). Generally, it is semi-wild, picking mountain flowers. It is wild and cannot be made into honey by human intervention.
Zhang Xuefeng lived in the big ravine of Tianchi in Huan County since childhood, and raised a native bee and ate China honey since childhood. Having a better understanding of the living habits of bees, in order to run a beekeeping farm well, he was not ashamed to ask questions, went around looking for teachers to learn skills, bought information online, mastered and possessed certain common sense and basic knowledge, and began to open a beekeeping farm in the depths of the original forest in Huaxi Valley.
The bee farm uses traditional old-fashioned wooden barrels to make honey. When the wooden barrels are put into the mountains, the native bees naturally nest, collect honey and make honey, and there is no human intervention in the whole process.
The traditional but practical honey-cutting method is retained in the honey of earth honeycomb, and only in this way can 100% be preserved. The various nutrients of earth honey can make the nutrition lose, so that customers can eat real nature and health.
The honey production ability of bees in China is weak. In a good year, the yield of a nest of bees is 10-20 kg, which can only be kept in a fixed mountain forest or around the eaves.
China bees are different from Italian bees. Bees in China don't like to live in square beehives, but prefer to nest in holes in rotten wood and dead trees. So the bee barrels of China bees are hollowed out with old wood, and both ends are blocked with two logs. If the gap is too big, paste some cow dung on the top, and when the cow dung is dry, you can make a bee bucket.
After several years of beekeeping, Zhang Xuefeng has become very familiar with the characteristics of bees. He knows when to cut winter honey, when to cut spring honey, when to divide bees, and where to set a bee bucket.
One hundred and fifty boxes of Chinese bees have been raised, and after a year of full brewing, they have fully matured. Every year after the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, they begin to take the annual honey. Only a small amount of honey can be taken, and a large amount of honey should be left to bees for winter food.
Although the Chinese bee is small but fierce, it has good adaptability to the environment, cold resistance and wind resistance, and it can still safely spend the winter on the mountain at an altitude of 1600 meters.
Bees in China are very good at building nests. They often use the inverted nest method in the bee barrel, and each cake hive is hung upside down on the barrel wall, which makes it easier to cut the hive. A cake and a cake hive were taken out and soon a pot was piled up. These honey are to be separated, some of them are sold as nest honey, and the other part can only be directly filtered into honey juice. Unlike Italian bees, which can make honey quickly, China bees make honey for a longer time, because there is no fixed honey source where they live. This area is far from crops and orchards, and bees are going to the virgin forest to collect honey. This honey will reduce the hidden dangers such as pollen rot and pesticide residues exceeding the standard.
The slow honey-making speed of soil bees also makes many beehives not full, and they can harvest a bucket full of honey, except after spring, but the quality of honey coming in summer after spring is slightly poor. The best honey in China is winter honey. Bees collect natural honey and seal it in honeycomb holes, which is formed due to special natural conditions such as latitude, light and climate.
Bee pollen is rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins, bee pollen, active enzymes, flavonoids, trace elements and other nutrients. More than 5000 species of wild plants are known, including rare and protected plants 100 species. Ziwuling primeval forest is also a natural medicine storehouse, with many Chinese herbal medicines, such as licorice. Radix Bupleuri, Radix Polygalae, Radix Astragali, Scutellariae Radix, Radix Codonopsis and Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis.
Natural honeycomb honey in Ziwuling takes at least one year to brew, and contains a small amount of pollen, which is the main source for bees to ingest protein.
Real beekeepers know that bees in China can't produce royal jelly in large quantities, so if you want to eat royal jelly of native bees, you can only get it by eating the honey in their hives. Natural honeycomb honey contains pollen, royal jelly, natural beeswax, propolis and other substances, and its nutritional value is extremely high! These nutrients are not available in artificial nest honey.
After about two years of brewing, natural honeycomb honey will gradually become honeycomb honey, and the contents of various trace elements, minerals, pollen, royal jelly and propolis are higher than those of ordinary honeycomb honey.
The honey yield of the ground bee nest is very small, and many people have no chance to see it for a lifetime. It is a really rare treasure.
In Ziwuling virgin forest, the real original honey is far away from the city, without smog pollution and any human intervention. Earth honey can only be drunk once a year, and it takes a long time to brew honey. The natural moisture in the nest evaporates. When the moisture is reduced to less than 20%, it will be covered and stored, and naturally mature honey will be born.
The virgin forest honey in Ziwuling bears the trust and expectation of many honey lovers. When I interviewed Zhang Xuefeng, it was June day in midsummer, and I came to Ziwuling to be among the flowers in the flower valley. At first glance, it was colorful, as if it were covered with layers of colorful carpets. All kinds of flowers are refreshing and intoxicating. It is particularly beautiful against the backdrop of green mountains and green waters. It will make you want to take out your mobile phone and camera, take photos, relax and linger in it.
Zhang Xuefeng showed the author around his beekeeping farm and came to the old house hidden in the virgin forest. Beside the bee barrel surrounded by bees, bees circled around him and landed on his face and shoulders from time to time. Strolling along the beautiful but somewhat barren river beach, I experienced the cold days belonging to beekeeper Zhang Xuefeng-no radio, TV and computer. The only things that can barely be called electrical appliances are flashlights and mobile phones, and candles extracted from beeswax are used for lighting.
People in the mountains are honest, frank and sincere. Zhang Xuefeng lived such a hard life in order to send the raw honey that really belongs to the deep mountains and forests directly from the bee farm to everyone who loves honey, but he was very satisfied with his living conditions. In today's materialistic world, it is rare to maintain this mentality! It is also a kind of life, a way of life! In this way, he realized the craftsman feelings and ambitions of Ziwuling beekeepers.
At the end of the interview, Zhang Xuefeng said that he also contracted to plant more than 0/00 mu of Bupleurum chinense in Qingcheng Nanzhuang/KLOC, and contracted to plant more than 200 mu of Radix Codonopsis and Radix Astragali in the coming year. I saw his appearance, and his enterprising spirit was full of vitality. He rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs. Come on! There are more than 6,000 kilograms of honey stored, and the diners who admire to buy it are also in an endless stream. Many acquaintances and friends also tell each other and compete for green ingredients. A kind friend helps beekeepers forward this article, so that more friends in need can eat real earth honey!
