Jiangshan county-level city in Quzhou has solidified its reputation as China's foremost exporter of royal jelly, reaching an impressive 14-year streak.

Behind this enduring supremacy lies Zhejiang Jiangshan Hengliang Apiculture Co. Hengliang Apiculture is not just a producer of bee products, but also a popular destination for many tourists.

The company has the world's largest bee product production base, according to Chairman Zheng Haoliang, and is also home to the Jiangshan Bee Museum. This year, the company expects to welcome 150,000 visitors.

Although the company has diversified its ventures, royal jelly exports remain its primary source of revenue. Zheng shared that Hengliang Apiculture's exported royal jelly accounts for about 20 percent of the national total, reaching over 30 countries across six continents.

The company's royal jelly freezing warehouse features bottles of harvested royal jelly adorned with detailed labels that include apiary numbers, beekeepers' identities, origins, and production dates.

Hengliang Apiculture is expanding into the beverage industry by introducing honey-infused drinks, honey vinegar beverages, and honey wines. They are also accelerating the development of honey-based skincare products.
