Households in the northern province of Hung Yen are busy harvesting honey.

The season starts every early March when longan flowers bloom.    

The province is home to around 3,000 hectares of longan, mostly in Hung Yen City and the districts of Khoai Chau, Kim Dong and Tien Lu. During the season, each household can earn hundreds of millions of VND from honey.

Minh from Khoai Chau District said that his family is raising bees imported from Italy which are stronger and have higher productivity with better honey than domestic breeds.    

Many people from other localities such as Hai Duong, Bac Giang and Hue also bring their bees to Hung Yen for hone.

Ha Van Thanh in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue said that he has been raising bees for four years. After 10 years in Hung Yen, his bees generated around 800 kilogrammes of honey.
