　　  Thanks to its inherent advantages such as “vast land area, excellent ecology, and a rich diversity and abundance of nectariferous plants,” Pingwu has a long history of raising Chinese honeybees. The Pingwu Chinese Honeybee has also been awarded the status of a “National Geographical Indication Product.”

　　  In 2016, the county raised over 60,000 colonies of Pingwu Chinese Honeybees, with nearly 500 tons of honey produced and the output value of bee products reaching nearly 200 million yuan. Beekeeping has increased local incomes by over 1,000 yuan per person, making “Pingwu Chinese Honeybee” a leading industry in Pingwu’s targeted poverty alleviation efforts. In 2017, our goal is for each household to raise 10 colonies of Pingwu Chinese Honeybees, generating an income of over 8,000 yuan, with the county’s total colony count reaching 100,000 and the output value of bee products aiming for 500 million yuan.
