Longmen Honey

Longmen Honey

　　Longmen has 180,000 hectares of forested land, with mountains covered in various fruit trees. The flowers of the schefflera, found in these forests, are premium material for honey production. The honey made from these flowers boasts a uniquely fragrant aroma. Coupled with Longmen’s mountainous region’s fresh, unpolluted, and naturally pristine ecological environment, this produces “Longmen Pure Honey.” Longmen Honey combines beauty-enhancing, health-promoting, and medicinal benefits. Among them, the winter honey produced in Dpai Town is considered the best—its color is pure white, the taste is delicate, and it solidifies in winter while being rich in organic acids. Beekeeping in Longmen has a history of several hundred years. By 2002, the annual number of bee colonies reached over 53,000, with total annual honey production exceeding 1,300 tons. Nowadays, Longmen Honey has become one of the must-buy local specialties for visitors, bringing substantial economic income to local beekeepers.
