Chen Zeen, 26, is a well-known beekeeper in Pengyang County, Guyuan City, Ningxia Province. He just graduated from college and did not stay in the big city to fight, but looked at business opportunities to return home to start a business.

In the summer vacation of 2014, Chen Zeen found that Chinese honeybee is not as low in sugar production as farmers in his hometown said, and cannot be cultivated on a large scale. In fact, as long as the method is scientific, it will have good economic benefits.

In 2015, Chen Zeen successfully persuaded his father to invest all his family and part-time savings during college in beekeeping. By learning breeding technology in Chongqing, Sichuan and other places, Chen Zeen changed the original breeding mode of destroying nests and collecting honey in his hometown, and carried out box breeding, which not only can collect honey regularly, improve yield, but also protect and strengthen bee colonies. Chen Zeen said: "Raising bees in Pengyang County has unique advantages. With the effect of returning farmland to forests and grasslands in recent years, the ecological environment is good. My Chinese bees can taste herbs and collect flowers."

In 2015, Chen Zeen raised 100 boxes of Chinese bees, producing more than 2000 catties of honey and net income of 150,000 yuan. Up to now, Chen Zeen has raised 200 boxes of Chinese bees, producing 4000 catties of honey and realizing economic income of more than 400,000 yuan. He also led more than 100 households in Shuangshu Village to raise more than 600 boxes of Chinese bees, regularly held beekeeping technology training for farmers, provided technical guidance at home, and taught beekeeping technology by hand.
