China. Apiario cercano a un bosque de árbol de caucho
Xishuangbanna, Yunnan,

DSCN8836

An apiary of Apis mellifera near the rubber tree forests in Yunnan, China. Rubber trees have extra-floral nectaries and can produce high yield (but considered so so quality) honey. The owner tells me he sells only about 400 yuan ($50 US) per ton of honey. March 28, 2002. Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China.
