Uttarakhand's Special Honey Harvested in November Fetches Higher Price

News18 Hindi · india

Uttarakhand's Bageshwar region is known for its pure, high-quality mountain honey, traditionally extracted by villagers and sold through self-help groups. While honey is harvested in April, July, and November, the November yield is considered the finest and commands a premium price of ₹1500 per kilogram, compared to the usual ₹1200. Local traders purchase honey from villages, providing a market for rural producers and employment for women. Consumers are advised to verify the honey's quality and source before purchasing, with laboratory testing being the most reliable method for detecting adulteration.
