Production environment of honey

In beekeeping production, the place where honey can be collected in large quantities is called honey source. Usually, a large number of honey plants grow in the honey source area, such as Sophora japonica, jujube, Vitex negundo, linden, rape, litchi, wild bazi and so on. The formation of honey source is the product of the combination of natural conditions and social conditions. The first is resource conditions. The formation of nectar source is mainly influenced by resource conditions, including natural conditions and internal factors of nectar source plants, especially climate factors. Among meteorological factors, temperature, light, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and wind direction all directly and indirectly affect the growth and development of nectar plants, their flowering and nectar secretion. The nature of soil, fertility and farming system, the growth of nectar plants, the position and quantity of flowers, the differences of species and varieties of nectar plants, pests and diseases can all have certain influences on the formation of nectar source areas. Followed by social conditions. Including traffic conditions, breeding technology, mechanization, the strength of bees and so on. There are seven commonly used gold indexes to judge the honey source in the world: latitude 33-38 degrees, altitude 1 km to 3 km, suitable and stable temperature, relative humidity 70-90%, long illumination time, mountainous terrain and good ecological environment. Tianshui, Gansu is the only world-class honey source in China. The honey produced is of high quality and enjoys a certain reputation in the world.
