Nest Honey from Xinyuan County

　　Xinyuan County is located in the northwest of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains, at the eastern end of the Ili River Valley, and in the valley of the Gongnaisi River. Xinjiang's Ili region boasts picturesque mountains and rivers, lush grasslands and forests, crystal-clear waters, and blue skies. Xinyuan County, in particular, has 8.34 million mu of high-quality natural grassland and is known as the "Pearl of the Grasslands." It is home to one of the world’s four major subalpine meadow steppes. Among them, the 5A-level Nalati Grassland, a natural scenic area, is called the "Grassland in the Sky"; it also has the world’s second-largest and Asia’s largest primeval wild fruit forest, as well as the largest surviving primeval apricot forest from the Middle Ages. It has been hailed by experts from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences as a natural treasure trove of nectariferous plants. Ili produces 40% of Xinjiang’s comb honey, making it the region with the highest comb honey yield in the country. Xinyuan County is part of Xinjiang’s Black Bee zone.

　　Product Features: Black bees are large in size, robust in constitution, and strong in stamina. They have stronger disease resistance than any other bee species. They are highly cold-resistant and can safely survive winters with temperatures below minus 30 degrees Celsius, and can still forage in the wild at temperatures as low as 8 degrees Celsius. They can fly at high altitudes and have a wide foraging radius, enabling them to collect nectar from unpolluted flowers in the Tianshan Mountains at elevations of 1,800 to 2,500 meters. As a result, black bee comb honey is characterized by its high sugar content and rich nutritional profile, containing abundant minerals, organic acids, proteins, vitamins, and enzymes.
