At the end of spring, when longan trees start to flower, it’s honey collecting season in the northern province of Hung Yen. In big longan fields and small gardens of longan, rows of bee nesting boxes are placed in long lines, offering a home to the millions of bees busy searching for pollen. The province is home to some 5,000ha of longan farms. Half of its longan fruits are grown under VietGAP standards. The bees are natural pollinators which help to increase longan tree fruiting rate. Bees and longan trees are the natural blessing to the province, providing stable sources of income for locals. VNA Photo: Đinh Văn Nhiều
