Chapter 550 Layout of Production Base
Gu Chang and Gu Changlin have been running in the vast mountains of Qinling for several days and finally identified four suitable locations. These places will become the first batch of honey production bases in the future!
First of all, the first place is undoubtedly where Gu Changlin raises bees.
After years of careful management by him, there are now dozens of beehives of various sizes here, and hundreds of kilograms of wild honey are produced every year!
You know, it takes more than fifty wooden barrels to collect these hundreds of kilograms of wild honey!
It can be predicted that this place will be the main production area of wild honey for quite a long time!
In addition, Gu Changlin also raised some Italian bees. Although the number was not too large, due to their high productivity, he could harvest more than 1,000 kilograms of honey a year!
Moreover, due to its high quality, the Italian honey raised by Gu Changlin can be sold for 100 to 150 yuan per catty, and the beeswax he harvested is even more precious, selling for yuan per catty. The annual output is about to catties!
About 10 to 20 kilograms of royal jelly can be produced every year, and its price is even more expensive, as high as 400 to 600 yuan per kilogram!
Royal jelly is a milky white pulp secreted by the pharyngeal glands of worker bees. It has remarkable effects such as anti-aging, antibacterial, anti-fatigue, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor and anti-diabetic. It is known as "liquid gold" and is an extremely precious health product!
Therefore, after comprehensive calculations, Gu Changlin’s apiary can produce 1,000 to 1,500 kilograms of honey every year!
Gu Chang plans to continue expanding the scale of breeding in the future and build Gu Changlin's apiary into a super apiary that produces 1,000 kilograms of local honey and 3,000 kilograms of Italian honey annually!
He believed that with the abundant nectar sources nearby, achieving this goal should not be a big problem!
In addition, there are three other beekeeping bases located in three nearby counties and districts. They echo each other and form a huge beekeeping industry cluster.
The three production bases are located in high-altitude areas, all over 1000 meters above sea level, and are surrounded by dense virgin forests.
The ecological environment here is very beautiful, with a wide variety of plants and flowers, including hundreds of high-quality flower sources such as Cornus officinalis, Tilia, and Gallnut.
These flower sources produce honey of superior quality, which can be called the treasure among honeys.
Gu Chang and Gu Changlin carefully selected many villages. Most of these villages are located in deep mountains and old forests with abundant nectar sources, but currently there are only some scattered native bee farmers operating there.
In this way, in the future bees will rely entirely on collecting nectar from alpine wild flowers, stay away from rural areas, and avoid the impact of agricultural nectar sources on honey quality.
At the same time, it can effectively eliminate the problem of pesticide residues and ensure that honey becomes a purely natural, green and healthy food.
However, these three places have not yet formed a large-scale honey breeding industry, and Gu Chang still needs to invest funds for development.
To this end, he has begun to actively contact local villagers and is preparing to invest in the construction of a honey breeding base.
In the early stages, Gu Chang plans to provide subsidies to farmers to encourage them to participate in the project.
Especially for local honey, there will be subsidies for each box, about 100-300 yuan!
This will not only encourage more people to participate in beekeeping, but also improve the development level of the entire industry.
If everything goes well, after the four breeding bases are established, the annual production of mature honey will exceed 10,000 kilograms!
Although this number doesn't sound like much, it is of course just the beginning. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the growth of market demand, the output and production base will be gradually expanded!
This will not only better meet consumer demand, but also create more employment opportunities.
In addition to artificially cultivated honey, Gu Chang actually also set his sights on wild honey!
This honey has a unique flavor and nutritional value, but due to the difficulty and high cost of collecting it, it has not been fully developed and utilized.
However, Gu Chang believes that as long as the right method is found, these high-quality resources can be transformed into economic benefits.
