CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Wild honey brought back from the countryside, a little bitter when soaked in water

The bitter taste in honey comes from the tannins in it, which is similar to the bitterness in bitter melon. They are all natural bitter ingredients that help promote the production of body fluids and help digestion, and are non-toxic. Schefflera honey and Rhizoma Dioscoreae honey are honeys with Chinese medicinal characteristics. They are cool in nature, slightly bitter and astringent, with obvious floral and herbal flavors. These types of honeys have a more obvious bitter taste. In addition, citrus honey and longan honey will also have a bit of bitterness, but the longan has a strong floral fragrance and a mellow taste, which masks the bitterness, so it is not easy to taste. If the bees collect poisonous nectar, the honey will also have a bitter taste. This bitterness usually has an unpleasant fishy smell. Toxic honey is usually caused by the mixing of Gelsemium elegans pollen. The flowering period of Gelsemium elegans is generally in early winter every year. Wild bees have strong immunity and like to collect sporadic nectar plants. They may collect these poisonous pollens due to the scarcity of nectar sources. Even if they do, they will die immediately on the way back to the hive due to their relatively low immunity. In addition, during the breeding process, bees are released in safe areas to collect honey all year round. These honey-collecting sites are inspected all year round within a radius of 5 kilometers to see if there are poisonous flowers and plants before releasing bees to collect honey.
