Para Rubber Honey
Rubber production in Myanmar is centred in Mon and Kayin States. Central Mon State has the greatest concentration of rubber trees.
Rubber honey is made from the rubber tree. Not from nectar found inside the flowers but from a nectar-secreting gland on the young leaf petioles.
There are a significant number of plantations with abundant beekeeping opportunities. Hives are placed inside the plantation at ground level.
