What are the different values of honey in spring, summer, autumn and winter?

Spring honey nourishes qi, autumn honey nourishes yuan, and winter honey destroys fire …

Some places are used to dividing honey into spring honey, summer honey, autumn honey and winter honey according to seasons, and honey in each season has different characteristics. In fact, no matter what season honey is, there are pharmacological expositions of honey in Shennong Materia Medica, such as moistening intestines and relaxing bowels, removing fire and smoothing intestines, invigorating qi and promoting fluid production.

1, spring honey: rape honey, litchi honey, longan honey, citrus honey honey and Sophora japonica honey. Paulownia honey, Chinese milk vetch honey, pear flower honey, etc.

2. Summer honey: jujube honey, Vitex negundo honey, linden honey honey, Ubuntu honey, cotton honey, wild grape honey, sesame honey, etc.

3. Autumn honey: gallnut honey, wild osmanthus honey (autumn osmanthus honey), eucalyptus honey, wild chrysanthemum honey, etc.

4, winter honey: wild osmanthus honey (winter osmanthus honey), Liriodendron honey (duck foot honey), wild bazi honey and so on.

Among them, winter honey is only suitable for Chinese bees to collect, and Chinese bees are often called soil bees. Therefore, these kinds of single-flower winter honey also belong to soil honey (single-flower honey species in soil bees), and there are few kinds of single-flower honey sources in winter, so it is more difficult to collect soil honey than in other periods.

In winter, the temperature is low, the air is clean, there are few bacteria in the air, and the flower source is deep in the mountains, so there is no modern pollution and no pesticide influence. Therefore, little honey is collected in winter, which highlights its preciousness. In the honey industry, winter honey is the most expensive honey among many honey varieties.
