Tuojiang Town, Hunan Province: two brothers keep bees in the mountains and run to the rich road.

"We have many mountains and dense forests here, which is a typical mountain area, which is very suitable for breeding Chinese bees." On August 28, Liang Runhua of Liang's Bee Industry in Shanmiaoyun Village, Tuojiang Town, Jianghua Yao Autonomous County, chatted with the author who came to interview while checking the honey-making situation of bees.

Liang Runhua, 26, started his business with his 24-year-old brother, Liang Xiaohua, and founded the Liang brothers bee industry. In his beekeeping base, there are neat rows of beehives, bees flying all over the sky. At present, it is a good time for gold bars to blossom, with mountain flowers all over the country. For them, this is the best time for a good harvest of honey.

"in 2008, after I graduated from junior high school, due to family difficulties, I took over more than 30 cases of bees from my 80-year-old grandfather who had kept bees for more than 20 years. In 2010, his brother Liang Runhua, who finished his second year of high school, also joined the beekeeping industry. " When asked why he chose beekeeping to start a business, Liang Xiaohua told me. Liang Xiaohua also said that the Chinese bee is a bee species native to the mountains of our country. It is good at picking all kinds of flowers and has strong resistance to cold and heat. It is a rare good bee species for beekeeping in mountain areas.

Every time they gather honey, the bees fly to the top of the mountain to collect honey from the wild flowers in the mountain. Liang Runhua said with a smile: "where there are many wild flowers on the mountain, we will move the beehive to." This ensures the source of honey and allows bees to collect authentic honey. "

Honey has edible and health care value, because of its good quality, it is more and more favored by the general public. In the interview, the author learned that Liang's honey is now generally priced at 100 yuan per kilogram, while winter honey can be sold at 160 yuan per kilogram. The Liang brothers' more than 400 boxes of bees can collect more than 5000 kilograms of honey a year, with an income of more than 500000 yuan.

Led by the Liang brothers, 6 villagers in Dalupu Town and Tuojiang Town have also embarked on the road of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich through beekeeping.

The Liang brothers said: "A person is not rich when he is rich, but only when we get rich together." They often provide free technical guidance to beekeepers to help them sell honey and solve the worries of beekeepers. In the future, they will drive more villagers to keep bees and make beekeeping a good way for people in mountainous areas to get rich.
