Brewing "Sweet Business" in the Depths of the Mountains
——Remember Yang Xiaoyan, a beekeeper in Danzhai County
Wan Wensheng Xu Yingfang Yang Guangrong
In Chengjiang Village, Xingren Town, Danzhai County, there is a hard-working and intelligent young farmer, relying on the unique advantages of natural resources, relying on years of accumulation and summary, out of a "sweet" beekeeping road to get rich. He is Yang Xiaoyan, a master beekeeper.
Located deep in the mountains, yagongpo is surrounded by mountain canyons and streams on one side and split winding roads on the other, where vegetation is lush and honey-rich. Yang Xiaoyan's bee farm is located here. More than 100 boxes of bees are staggered in the grass or under the trees, some are alone, and some are in groups, constantly sending nectar to the hive, and at the entrance of the hive is a busy harvest scene.
According to reports, the Cypress plants, vines and trees in the Danzhai Mountains are quite abundant, and most of them are medicinal materials. Therefore, beekeeping here, honey has medicinal properties and is of high value.
When it comes to beekeeping, Yang Xiaoyan gushes endlessly: he said that he was born in beekeeping, and his father has been beekeeping for many years and is well-known in the local area. From the time of elementary school and junior high school, he often used the holidays to help his father do some work within his ability on the bee farm, and slowly developed feelings for the industrious little bees.
Yang Xiaoyan, a 33-year-old Miao youth, has gone out to Guangdong to work as a casual worker and has also entered the factory. After thinking that part-time work is not a long-term solution, so in 2018, I decided to return to my hometown to start a business. In 2019, I began to learn to keep bees, initially only raised a dozen boxes, after several years of development, now developed to more than 150 boxes.
Over the past few years, Yang Xiaoyan has gotten up early every day and is greedy, focusing on the cause of beekeeping, and often learns beekeeping technology online, exchanges experience with beekeepers who do well in the county, and constantly summarizes breeding experience and innovates management. With the spirit of never accepting defeat and bearing hardships and standing hard work, his beekeeping industry has become more and more prosperous, becoming a well-known beekeeper.
According to Yang Xiaoyan, honey can be harvested twice a year. Relying on the unique advantages of natural resources, the honey brewed in summer is hundred flowers nectar, and in autumn it is five times the honey, compared with other honey species such as longan honey and lychee honey, the taste and aroma of hundred flower nectar and five times the honey are more special and rich, and are favored by customers.
In addition, in the process of beekeeping, Yang Xiaoyan is also very willing to teach farmers who come to learn beekeeping and teach beekeeping skills wholeheartedly. He said: One person is not rich, but only when everyone is rich is rich.
Yang Xiaoyan has changed from an initial novice to a beekeeper today, and his own beehives have developed from more than ten boxes to more than one hundred and fifty boxes now. Yang Xiaoyan said that although the process of beekeeping is hard, when harvesting honey, the heart is sweet.
Yang Xiaoyan said that what inspired him to go out of the mountain village was a belief in changing his destiny, and what called him back to the mountain village was a responsibility and responsibility for his hometown. In order to strengthen the beekeeping industry, the next step, he wants to make the beekeeping cause bigger and stronger, and hopes that the relevant departments will give certain funds and policy support, provide more employment opportunities for the local people, and drive more fathers and fellow villagers to embark on the road to prosperity.
Today, Yang Xiaoyan has achieved a gorgeous turn of a rural youth and has become a beekeeper who is the envy of surrounding villagers. At present, his greatest ideal is to contribute his strength to the revitalization of the countryside, drive more young people to develop special breeding and breeding in their hometowns, help their fathers and fellow villagers broaden the channels for increasing income, and let everyone drum up the "money bag" and live a good life.
