India is the second largest honey producer and exporter in the world, plays an important role in world honey production and trade. The total production of honey in India is approx. 27000MT per year and the maximum production of honey in India comes from the forests.
In Himachal Pradesh the total honey production is about 120MT per year. Honey has been used by man in various ways since times immemorial. It contains more than so different substances but 95-99,5% of the total solids and sugars. The color, aroma, flavor, texture are the important quality characteristics of honey. Besides this, honey is prized for.
