These little workers have been thriving on Earth for more than 70 million years. With a keen sense of smell and a love for sunshine and oxygen-rich forests, they are the true natives here: the Chinese bee (<em>Apis cerana cerana<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-0746492d\">Every February, as spring whispers through the highlands, the Chinese bees begin their annual rhythm. From flower to flower they flutter, gathering nectar from countless blossoms across the plateau. Their wings beat against the crisp air until December, when the last flowers fade and the work is done. Only then do the harvesters of Relo appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-0a40d4d2\">The bees have spent the whole year filling their combs with nectar from all four seasons. And the harvesters? They take honey only once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why Relo wild honey is called <em>Four-Season Honey<\/em>\u2014a true integration of the plateau\u2019s changing blossoms, climates, and fragrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-8ab9eee2\">One of the most important nectar sources comes from <em>Elsholtzia rugulosa<\/em>, locally called <em>Yebazi<\/em>. Growing between 1,300 and 2,800 meters on sunny slopes, Yebazi blooms late in the year, just as the cold approaches. In traditional medicine, it is valued for clearing heat, aiding digestion, and relieving pain. Its distinctive herbal aroma lingers in every drop of honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-6034ba20\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rinor-4-edited-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rinor-4-edited-1.jpg 724w, https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rinor-4-edited-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rinor-4-edited-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rinor-4-edited-1-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image.jpg 788w, https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-400x271.jpg 400w, https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-600x407.jpg 600w, https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-150x102.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-3f85a36b\">Our honey is naturally light amber, often found in a crystallized state. Crystallization is not a flaw\u2014it is a sign of purity. Like water turning to ice, it is a physical change, not a chemical one. The glucose in honey forms crystals when temperatures shift, creating a fine, creamy texture. Truly wild honey, especially high-purity polyfloral honey, tends to crystallize faster. If it never crystallizes, it likely contains added syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The taste is delicate, fragrant, and enduring on the palate. Beyond natural sugars, our honey contains minerals, amino acids, and active enzymes. In local tradition, it is believed to moisten the lungs, replenish energy, detoxify, and even aid in managing chronic conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-7ce5efc4\">At Relo, we enjoy honey in many ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Straight from the Spoon<\/strong>\u200b \u2013 The simplest joy: one spoonful straight from the jar, the sweetest moment of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Honey-coated Walnuts<\/strong>\u200b \u2013 Local wild walnuts bathed in honey, evoking memories of highland meadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Honey Lemon Tea<\/strong>\u200b \u2013 Fresh lemon slices in warm honey water (under 60\u00b0C to protect nutrients).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date-Walnut-Honey Bites<\/strong>\u200b \u2013 Dates stuffed with walnuts and drizzled with honey, perfect for afternoon tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you taste Rinor wild honey, you taste the work of ancient bees, the patience of highland harvesters, and the fleeting beauty of four seasons in one jar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the story o<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37369,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37353"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37353\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37375,"href":"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37353\/revisions\/37375"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test26.chuangfenglink.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
