Traveling in Lijiang, I heard that there is honey in the tree hole. Is it true?/You don't say.

Really, tree hole honey is a traditional beekeeping method of local Lisu and other ethnic minorities.

Beekeeping is generally carried out on a trunk with a diameter of more than one meter by using natural holes and gaps in the trunk.

Beekeepers usually prune natural tree holes to make wild bees more livable. Wild bees will go to ready-made caves to produce themselves when they are separated in spring, and beekeepers can collect them directly during the collection season.

This form of beekeeping only requires big trees in deep mountains and dense forests, which is the best way to protect virgin forests and best reflects the mutual promotion between protection and development.
