Canada’s Canola (bred improved rape, low erucic acid and glucosinolate) has a planting area of ​​23 million acres (= 140 million acres), which should be larger than China. The area planted in China in 1990 was 30 million mu. </ span>

Canola areas north of Alberta, Canada, rapeseed honey can weigh around 200 pounds per group, because in the summer the daytime is long, and the honey flow time is concentrated. I do n’t know if there is a charge for pollinating rapeseed. I guess it may be free because there is so much honey in rapeseed. According to old data from the United States (before the 1970s), rape production increased by 25-30% after pollination. In recent years, China has conducted experiments around the country to see the economic benefits of rapeseed after bee pollination. </ span>

Rapeseed honey is characterized by rapid crystallization because of its high glucose content. My suggestion is to add fine crystals as crystallization nuclei (about 10%) and control the crystallization at low temperature (about 14 degrees) so that the product is consistent and tastes good. Naturally crystallized rapeseed honey has a tongue sticking sensation. </ span>

Take the photo from 2012.4.5 to 4.6. Thank you, Professor Zeng Zhi of Jiangxi Agricultural University (the last one), and my wife for accompanying me all the way. It is estimated that I went a little late that time. I didn’t see a few bees, so I didn’t shoot macro bees, and the macro bees of rapeseed sent out later. </ span>

3. These canola flowers have slightly passed their prime.

4. Wuyuan’s houses are all emblematic ancient houses with white walls and black tiles and cornices.

5. See also the purple sage (grass seeds) that is often eaten in hours. It was too poor at the time to eat snacks. Just eat the stalks of this grass, when not blooming, tender and sweet. Later, when the child noticed that there was a bee, they grabbed the nectar and squeezed out their lips. As a result, their lips were stung accidentally, and they became swollen at night when watching a movie. He said how honey was shaken, but I haven’t seen a bee colony or shaken honey in an hour. I have never eaten honey! It was not until I graduated from college that I tasted honey for the first time.

7. Photographed a bee picking purple bee.

8. Town and cauliflower.

9. Visit the town to see the excitement.

10. There is a small river.

11. We also went fishing.

12. Of course, those who study bees must look at the local bees and look at two different bee farms.

13. Sometimes open the beehive and look at the bees. It seems that beekeepers all over the world have this hobby. Look at the beehive, then look at the bees inside.

14. The product is sold off the road.

15. Teacher Zeng of Jiangxi Agricultural University is taking photos.
