(Baonghean.vn) - At the end of April, when the weather is cool, filled with the gentle, gentle fragrance of wild flowers mixed with corn flowers and rice flowers, people in mountainous districts such as Anh Son and Con Cuong can see the camps set up by nomadic beekeepers.
 |
| The profession of beekeeping, moving from place to place according to the flower season, is still quite new in Anh Son. However, this season, when the wild flowers bloom, a mobile bee farm has arrived in Anh Son. |

 |
| Mr. Nguyen Van Van from My Duc district, Hanoi city said: this profession never stays in one place. They often move from one province to another, from the lychee and longan flower season in the northern provinces, the coffee season in the Central Highlands provinces to the cajuput flower, corn flower, and rice flower season in Nghe An and Ha Tinh. But no matter how long the flower season is, beekeepers do not stay in one place for more than 2 months. |
 |
| In places with abundant flower sources, beekeepers usually collect honey every 8-10 days. Before harvesting honey, the beehives are lifted out of the hive and the young bees are swept down into the hive, inside this layer of wax are heavy streams of honey. Each hive like this can produce from 3-10 kg of pure honey. |
 |
| With more than 300 beehives, Mr. Nguyen Van Van of Duc My district, Hanoi, can collect 1 ton of honey each time he collects honey. After the honey is collected, companies will bring cars to collect it at the site at a price of 20,000-30,000 VND/kg. It is estimated that Mr. Van can earn 20-30 million VND per honey collection. |
 |
| Delicious forest honey products are obtained from many communes in Anh Son area. |
