Horticulture is the oldest form of beekeeping, in which bees live in tree hollows. Board - nests of wild forest bees located in the hollows of trees, which are quite rare, artificially created structures become relevant. Bortevoy honey - what is it? After all, few people know that this is a completely natural, absolutely pure and very useful natural product. The collection of the product is carried out once a season, which allows the honey to fully ripen. Honey has a minimum liquid content and a maximum amount of nutrients.

Bortevoy honey is considered the rarest beekeeping product. Honey Bashkiria (Shulgan-Tash Reserve), the Philippines, Nepal and India can boast of its presence. Bashkir wild bees are affectionately called "Burzyan bees"; their onboard honey is listed in the Red Book as a very rare variety. It is very similar to the Bashkir honey Philippine product, but since there are very few bees, productivity decreases every year.

Features and composition

The main feature of wild bees' bee honey is ecological cleanliness. Wild bees, unlike domestic ones, do not live near roads or industrial zones. The smell is bright, rich, incredibly fragrant, it is impossible to remain indifferent, you immediately want to try. Distant notes of herbs make the product truly magical - a delicate intertwining of raspberry, bird cherry, linden and other plant scents with a subtle hint of wax. Color - the bulk of the distinctive dark brown color (amber), with light and dark blotches (not uncommon - chocolate-colored honey, or completely white, after sugaring). The consistency is very thick.

The composition of bee honey may differ, depending on the area where the bees live, from which plants they collect pollen.

How the product is collected

The current beekeepers independently equip the boards, using tree blocks for this. They do this in the spring, to lure the bees, herbs with a strong smell are placed in the structure and honeycombs are installed.

  2. choose a stump, a tree at least 1.5 meters high.

Bortnik collects honey in the fall, once a year, so that the product has time to mature completely.

How the product is collected

Attention! The blades must be made of natural material, otherwise the beneficial properties of honey will be lost.

Beekeepers leave a certain part of the crop in the boards so that insects continue to live in them and collect honey for the next year. It is important to respect the proportions, otherwise the bees will simply leave this place.

Very little honey is mined, therefore it is not used as a delicacy, a culinary product, its main purpose is to treat and prevent diseases.
