Premia Rubber Honey

Rubber honey collected from a rubber tree. Not from nectar found inside the flowers, or from honeydew as it happens with other trees, but from a nectar-secreting gland found outside the flower, on the young leaf petioles.

The compound leaves of the flowers bear extra-floral nectaries on the young leaf petioles. Nectar secretion is continuous while the leaves are young and cease when they mature – nectar is thus released only during flowering periods.

The flowering period includes January to March and the flowers last 7 to 9 days. The trees are visited by many types of bees: Apis mellifera (European honey bee), Apis cerana, Apis dorsata (the giant bee), Apis florea.

Rubber honey is different from regular floral honeys mainly in respect to moisture and enzyme content. It has lesser antioxidents as compared with other honey, but its curative properties for blood disorders is noticable.

Rubber honey tastes different. It feels runny and not as thick as other honey. But my throat felt soothed when I ate it for a few days. It is good for blood disorders as it has lot of Iron content.
