Follow the Honey -- Bee Farmer's LifeChina Daily, 3/1/2010
Although armed with incense, hats and masks they are still stung every day, as the bees are naturally protective of their hive.
Since bees only forage when their comb is empty they are constantly extracting the honey so the worker bees are always busy.
Royal jelly, the most valuable bee product, can only be collected manually from the numerous man-made queen cells.
When the cole flowers have finished blooming, Jiang and his wife travel to Dengzhou, Henan province, so they can keep farming honey.
