* * the sweet life of Zhang Lamei, the queen bee of Shawan farmer

At the home of Zhang Lamei, a villager of Weijiazhuang Village, Lao Shawan Town, Shawan County, rows of beehives were lined up, opened the lid of the beehive, and slowly pulled out a beehive. For a while, thousands of bees attached to the hive presented a spectacular picture of bees brewing honey.

Zhang Lamei, who has five years of experience in beekeeping, said that beekeeping does not occupy an area of land, has little investment, has quick results, no pollution, and no pollution, and is a "quick-acting industry" for villagers to get rich.

This year, Zhang Lamei raised 150 bees and produced a variety of bee products. Because her honey is natural, green and pollution-free, bee products have been in short supply since they were introduced to the market.

"our main products are honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis and so on. Bees can also pollinate crops when collecting honey." Zhang Lamei said.

When Zhang Lamei learned that the information of some bee farmers in the village was blocked, the sale of bee products was slow, and the price did not go up, and the income of beekeeping was only 10,000 yuan a year, she came up with the idea of setting up a cooperative to lead bee farmers to a broader road to prosperity.

Zhang Lamei said: "I see that many people around have set up all kinds of cooperatives, such as farming cooperatives, land cooperatives and so on. I think we can also organize these bee farmers to form a cooperative."

Just do it. In May this year, Zhang Lamei took the first step of her dream. She set up a professional cooperative for apiculture farmers and registered a brand trademark for the cooperative's bee products.

"in the past, when I was farming, I only earned ten thousand yuan a year, and I had to rely on weather, geography, and human harmony. Beekeeping is different. Not only is it not affected by the weather, but the income is quick. I earned more than 10,000 yuan in just one month. " Zhang Lamei said happily.

Over the past few years, Zhang Lamei has continued to expand the scale of breeding, improve the quality of honey, and create characteristic brands of bee products, driven by cooperatives, to promote the development of honeybee industry and help everyone get rich together.

Talking about her dream in the future, Zhang Lamei is full of confidence: "We plan to build the factory next year, and then let the cooperative gradually move towards scale, and build a cooperative that belongs entirely to our own bee farmers, our own brand." build the cooperative's bee products into a pure natural and original brand, and make use of 'Internet +' to make the cooperative's bee products out of the sandy bay and out of the sand.
