The Bracatinga story unfolds among highland vegetation, cool seasons, beekeeping knowledge, and a three-part ecology unlike blossom honey.
A three-part ecology
Tree. Honeydew. Hive.
The Bracatinga tree is the living base. Sap-feeding scale insects associated with the tree release honeydew. Bees gather the sugar-rich material and transform it in the colony.
The result is classified as honeydew honey because its source is not floral nectar.
