How to make Chinese honey sell at a good price?

On March 31, Huangpu's beehive is ready to move, and their next destination is Yulin, Guangxi. "the flowers bloom late there, rape flowers fade here, and just bloom there."

At this time, they were busy packing, bolting the beehives, tying up the ropes, packing up the tent items and putting them in the car. Then they picked up two beehives with a pole and sent them to the car one by one.

From beekeepers to beekeeping companies

"if you don't move here, you will spread pesticides." before the flowers fade, farmers usually sprinkle pesticides on the fruit trees. bees will be poisoned as long as they suck the nectar sprinkled with pesticides, and the bees will die on the way back. If it is not serious, send the honey back to the beehive, and the whole box of other bees will be destroyed. "they are dizzy and just circle around on the ground and stick out their tongues." In fact, this is what he witnessed four days ago, but he is going to move again while he is talking.

This young man from Wuzhou, Guangxi keeps 200 cases of bees alone. in the past, moving a farm was like taking off a layer of skin, but now it's different. Huangpu has a new identity: a beekeeper in Sweet Home Bee Industry Co., Ltd.

The company paid for him to hire two temporary porters, and the bee farmers from the surrounding beehives also came to help. In less than two hours, dozens of beehives on the ground were loaded into the car. The remaining more than 100 beehives are kept in the beekeeping car all the year round, with independent living space, solar power generation, lighting lights, watching TV, and even turning on air conditioning in summer.

In addition, drivers, technicians, are ready-made, choose the venue, negotiate to harass the local people, they do not have to worry about, and the risk is borne by the company, they only bear part of the responsibility. Such a team can be said to be a precedent. Experts from the National Beekeeping Association came to inspect it, but they did not dare to declare their position easily, whether to sound the alarm or promote it.

Considering that he didn't know anything when he joined the business four years ago, and now he has become the owner of 200 cases of bees, Huang Pilian is a little proud. He says he wants to thank a man who is his fellow-townsman and the boss of Sweet Home: Huang Zhonglian.

The price of honey is less than half in foreign countries.

Huang Zhonglian has his own consideration: "China is a big beekeeping country, but it is a small honey-producing country. The average export price is only US $1800 per ton, but the average price in Turkey is 4000 yuan per ton." He said that in the final analysis, there is too much fake honey on the market. "preserved fruit syrup with 5% honey sells at the price of pure honey." Ordinary people can't tell the true from the false but have to buy imported honey.

So he wants to change. Bee farmers are all their own, and they can master the honey source, quality and medication. "the honey collected outside may only be 36 degrees (33% of water content). Their own beehive is not eager for quick success and quick profit. When honey is covered, the concentration can reach 42 degrees (water content is less than 20%)." At present, 35 honeybee cars have been or are ready to be put into production.

According to Huang Zhonglian's plan, by 2017, there will be 300 beekeeping vehicles put into production, each collecting 500 tons of honey a year, and all the company's honey will be produced and sold by itself. He also wants to turn the story of the bee farmer into a micro-film so that his honey farm can be listed on the small and medium-sized board. Now it is time to lay the foundation, to explore a set of safety and standardized production mode, and to select suitable management talents.

In the past two days, Huang Zhonglian took advantage of the opportunity of a meeting in Guangzhou to buy an imported wax press from Poland. Who knew that the beeswax would not come out of the work mouth, so he called the manufacturer to make it clear that this machine was a link on the assembly line and it was difficult to work alone. Following the advice, Huang Zhonglian found two sticks to simulate the work of crushing and crushing, and the action was funny, which was even more time-consuming and laborious than a manual wax press. Huang Zhonglian smiled: "this machine is not in line with China's national conditions."

There are also some troubles. It is said that last year, the Ministry of Agriculture included the special platform for beekeeping in the scope of state subsidies. According to the regulations, special beekeeping vehicles, as non-operating vehicles, do not need to apply for an operation license and can pass on all kinds of roads and enjoy green channel treatment without charging any fee. However, many toll stations still do not buy it, and the police are not useful. Instead, they are beaten up and raked.

How to take a beekeeping road in line with China's national conditions and create a big brand that people can trust, perhaps Huang Zhonglian and these vagrants in the spring still have a long way to go.
