Xuan Thuy National Park boosts mangrove honey brand
When river and orange mangroves bloom across the coastal wetlands, tens of thousands of bee colonies are brought to Xuan Thuy National Park in the northern province of Ninh Binh, to gather nectar. Produced from the natural blossoms of the mangrove ecosystem, the honey is prized for its distinctive flavour and purity, while providing livelihoods and higher incomes for beekeepers and communities in the park’s buffer zone.
