　　Nileke Black Bee Honey is a specialty of Nileke County in the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The Nileke Black Bee is one of the world’s four most famous bee species. It is large in size, robust in physique, and strong in stamina. It has greater disease resistance than any other bee variety. It also exhibits strong cold resistance, safely surviving harsh winters with temperatures below minus 30 degrees Celsius, and can still forage in the wild at temperatures as low as 8 degrees Celsius. With a high flight altitude and a wide foraging radius, it can gather nectar from unpolluted flowers secreted at altitudes of 1,800 to 2,500 meters deep in the Tianshan Mountains. The resulting honey is characterized by high sugar content and rich nutritional components including minerals, organic acids, proteins, vitamins, and enzymes.

　　The Nileke County Bee Breeding Farm is located on the Tangbula Grassland in the middle section of the West Tianshan Mountains and is the only state-owned farm in Xinjiang primarily focused on bee breeding. For many years, the farm has consistently carried out scientific research on the protection and genetic improvement of the black bee population, ensuring the preservation and growth of this unique bee species known for its strong flying ability and wide foraging range. Currently, the farm supports over 300 beekeepers and produces more than 600 tons of honey annually.

　　"Nileke Black Bee Honey" is produced in the depths of the Tianshan Mountains, where there are over 1 million mu of premium nectar sources. From mid-March to the end of August, thousands of blossoms provide foraging and breeding grounds for over 30,000 bee colonies, including 76 varieties of medicinal herbs with unique health benefits. The produced honey, royal jelly, and pollen are entirely free from pollution and serve as high-grade tonics with medicinal value. Nileke Black Bee Honey is collected from the secretions of hundreds of rare wild alpine flowers at altitudes of 1,800 to 2,500 meters deep in the Tianshan Mountains. It is extremely rich in glucose, fructose, protein, organic acids, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. With a fragrant and pleasant aroma, smooth and sweet taste, its special health benefits and notable body-regulating effects are highly cherished by people of all ethnicities in Xinjiang.
