Zhao Xiurong, a 54-year-old villager of Xingxingyu Village, Daxinzhai Town, Funing District, Qinhuangdao City, is extracting honey from the honeycomb using a honey centrifuge. She owns more than 100 beehives of bees, now it is the season when linden flowers are in full blossom, and the bees are busy gathering honey from the flowers.
Xingxingyu Village has decades of beekeeping history. Thirty years ago, Zhao Xiurong married Zhao Xingzhu, a fellow from the same village, and learned to be a beekeeper from her father-in-law. In the 1990s, Zhao Xiurong and her husband kept more than forty beehives of bees, collecting nectar and selling them in the street with a bicycle.
On August 14 last year, Ye Fajin accompanied the official EU supervisor and the staff of the German BCS organic certification agency to Xingxingyu Village, to test the honey produced by the cooperatives. The results show that the honey meets the EU organic honey standards, and has obtained international certification for organic food. Daxinzhai Town has become a beekeeping base that exports honey to the EU.
