Sundarbans Honey:
Demand for natural honey from Sundarbans is always there. Pure honey is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of honey from the Sundarbans.
Natural honey means honey collected from beehives. The Mouals go deep into the Sundarbans to collect natural honey. It can be collected at different times of the year but the best time is February to April. To collect honey, the Mouals travel in different boats in search of chak in the depths of the forest. Sundarbans honey contains more khalisa flower extract. This honey is very thin and delicious. But when it gets a little old, a little smell can come to the nose. In this case, applying mild heat removes this smell.
