The nearby forests are also an important food source for bees to look for food during almost four seasons. Mr Tuoi said: On average, the family collects more than 1,000 liters of honey each year. Honey of acacia is usually sold at 120,000 VND / liter, especially, honey of longan with special taste, sweet taste is always favored by the market with the higher prices, the average of 200,000 - 220,000 VND / liter; which makes him get the income from 200 - 250 million VND / year.
