Thanks Jessica for writing about Bataan honey. This will help a lot in our aim to raise awareness about Bataan wild honey and Philippine honey in general 🐝❤️
Loved this one! It's nice to know more about local honey. Hopefully we can get honey that are specific with the type of flowers it came from. I saw a honey store in Kyoto that sells different honeys from chestnut, buckwheat and other stuff.
Thank you for shining the light on the Bataan wild honey hunters. I think I would have run also!
Shared this with my friend Kyle who doesn’t have Substack but wanted to comment:
“On the topic, of Pukyutan's being a Philippine Endemic. It's scientific name should actually omit the 'dorsata' which suggests it's a subspecies, it is no longer considered as such but as a distinct species, in morphological features and genetics-wise. Apis breviligula.
