Did you know that honey contains a substance that helps the brain work better?

Did you know that honey is one of the few foods on earth that alone can sustain human life?

Did you know that bees saved people from starvation in Africa?

That a spoonful of honey is enough to keep a man alive for 24 hours?

Did you know that propolis produced by bees is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics?

Did you know that honey has no expiry date?

Did you know that the bodies of the world's greatest emperors were buried in gold coffins, then covered in honey to prevent putrefaction?

Did you know that the term "Honeymoon" (honeymoon) comes from the fact that the bride and groom consumed honey for fertility after their marriage?

Did you know that a bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey, but for her it is the work of a lifetime.

Thank you precious Bees!

Happy Summer from Viet Thanh Honey Vietnam!

Vietnam Creating The Best Honey for Export

Vietnam recently has become the sixth honey exporter in the world and it ranks first in terms of output among honey exporting countries to the United states. The potential of beekeeping for honey in Vietnam still has a lot of opportunities for development and expansion.

The Research Center for Tropical Bees and Beekeeping at Vietnam National University of Agriculture has applied new technology in beekeeping that helps bring high economic value to beekeepers in Vietnam.

The Research Center for Tropical Bees and Beekeeping at Vietnam National University of Agriculture is well-known as one of the leading units in this sector. The center has implemented research and transferred the technology of beekeeping to beekeepers nationwide. It also produces high-quality honey products, supplying both domestic and foreign markets.

Visiting the center in the season when bees are active, hundreds of brood boxes are put in Longan fruit orchards with bees buzzing everywhere. This creates a miniature natural ecosystem inside the Vietnam National University of Agriculture

The Research Center for Tropical Bees and Beekeeping was established in 2006 with the aim of doing research about bees. The center has applied high-technology in beekeeping following Viet Gap standards that help enhance both the productivity and quality of honey products.

With this model of beekeeping, all products are transparent about their origin, including seeds, flower sources, supplements and disease prevention used in the process of taking care of bees.

In addition, the center is also the first unit of Vietnam which has succeeded in artificial insemination for the queen bee, providing hundreds of breeding queens and thousands of bee colonies for Vietnamese beekeepers. The success of this model has brought the brand of Vietnamese beekeeping to the world. The center has received visitor internships, scholars and beekeepers from the US, South Korea, Japan and Belarus.

The center always keeps up with beekeeping trends in the world and applies new technology and techniques in research and production. It helps beekeepers to change their beekeeping practices from using single brood boxes to double brood boxes to improve honey quality.

The block chain-based application helps the Research Center for Tropical Bees and Beekeeping to race the origin of products such as seeds, flower sources, supplements and disease prevention used in taking care of bee colonies.

According to the center’s director Dr. Pham Hong Thai, using double brood boxes in beekeeping takes advantage of the open space of nature with clean bees and a pure honey resource. The product from a double brood box is five times more than the honey harvested from a single brood box.

The center has incubated 100 colonies of domestic bees and 200 colonies of foreign bees. It has mastered the technology of artificial insemination for the breeding queen that helps create good quality bee colonies.

Annually, the center organizes training courses for beekeepers to access advanced techniques in beekeeping around the world. During the 2020-2022 period, the center helped Son La and Nghe An provinces build seven foreign beekeeping models for honey using double brood boxes. The models are conducted following Viet Gap standards with the scale of 715 colonies of bees, worth about 3.5 billion dong (roughly 150,000 US dollars).

Personal Words from the Royal Viet Thanh Co Owner and President

Mr. Trung Thanh Vu

Honey Expert (Chapter VI- I)

World Bee Day is about Vietnam Bees.

So long when we choose the easy way to do things, we choose to be silent, choose to lie in the middle without losing the blanket. When we keep thinking to sell what we have the market to eat.

2022: Vietnamese Honey massively returns to the EU, keeping the old style and the same quality: ethanol, glycerin, high HMF; sugar sticky all kinds of beta-gamma, NMR; Soybean powder in honey.

2023: It is different from last year when Ukraine can sell honey back to the EU, Vietnamese honey after a year of market turmoil is close but completely entangled with the inherent problems of Beta-Gamma and Soybean Flour.

When India decided to sell low due to the season and also the way Vietnamese Honey entered the US.

Most Vietnamese honey is difficult to complete, although the EU market still needs customers to buy and will continue in May to find and buy without what they need to sell.

We have not had Vietnam Day in Apimondia since at least 2015 until now.

(Apimondia is the World Meeting of Bee Keepers)

I sell with the posture of a thief only afraid that my friends know. If we were as united as a group of businesses now, we would not buy or sell separately, but have a unity. Surely we can force domestic quality to increase and import customers to buy at market price for their satisfactory honey.

The Future belongs to Vietnamese Honey!
