Beekeeper In The Goji Berry Garden
In July 19th, Ningxia County wolfberry base, we see the roadside more than 50 beehives lined up, a beekeeper is checking the hive.
We learned that the beekeeper was named Zhang Jun. According to him, 4 years ago, when seen in the county of gojiberry planting area is increasing year by year, he came up with the idea of keeping bees. Especially when he learned that the market for goji berry honey was better than that of other honey, he thought that keeping bees in the goji berry garden and producing goji berry honey would be a very worthwhile industry. So Zhang Jun made up his mind to breed bees.
As the saying goes, all things are difficult at first. At first, Zhang Jun thought that keeping bees was a simple matter, but after a period of time, not only did not gain much honey, but also appeared the phenomenon of bees dying. Unwilling to fail, Zhang Jun bought a large number of books on breeding bees, learning from scratch, and often to the surrounding bees farms, to peer advice. He also learned the experience of other breeding experts through the Internet and mobile phones.
Everything comes to him who waits. After assiduous research, his technique of raising bees improved obviously, and then paid off. “Over the past few years, I have more than 110 boxes of bees, can produce more than a ton of goji berry nectar per year, income of more than 40 thousand yuan.” Zhang Jun says, because the Chinese wolfberry flower season is limited, and the conversion rate of honey of goji berry pollen is low, so the goji berry and honey produced are not many.
“I produce authentic goji berry honey, which can be preserved for 3 years without deterioration.” Zhang Jun said, goji berry honey is a quality honey, which is made by bees collecting nectar from goji berry flowers. Goji berry honey contains fructose, glucose, organic acids, fatty acids, inorganic salts and a variety of trace elements required by the human body. It has the functions of nourishing the liver and kidney, strengthening the eyesight, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, moistening the lung, relieving cough and invigorating qi.
