Weixi Multiflora Honey is a specialty of Weixi County in Diqing, Yunnan.
Weixi Multiflora Honey has a long history of development. Over 1,500 years ago, the Lisu people first settled in the area and developed a close relationship with the local wild bees (Apis cerana). Through daily life and labor, they gradually mastered the skill of gathering wild honey and transitioned to raising domesticated honeybees for production and food. Weixi Multiflora Honey is made from the nectar, secretions, and honeydew collected by the Himalayan subspecies of Apis cerana from various high-altitude alpine plants. This is combined with the bees’ own secretions and undergoes full fermentation to produce mature honey. It is characterized by an amber or dark amber hue and a thick, sticky consistency at room temperature. The honey offers a distinctive, natural floral fragrance, along with a rich, smooth taste and a long-lasting, fragrant aftertaste—making it a true delicacy among honeys.
According to testing and analysis, Weixi Multiflora Honey has high amylase activity and contains up to 17 types of beneficial nutrients for the human body, including amino acids, folic acid, and trace elements. It provides benefits such as improving digestion, cleansing the lungs, detoxifying the body, beautifying the skin, and enhancing the immune system. Comparative tests have shown that the average content of fructose and glucose in Weixi Multiflora Honey exceeds 64g per 100g. Moreover, the levels of harmful substances such as ash, hydroxymethyl furfural, lead, and zinc are far below national standards, making it a natural, healthy green food.
