Yan Sichou, a 58-year-old man, whose children are away working in cities, has been supporting the family by keeping bees for more than 31 years.

Yan lives in a town that is near a scenic spot in Shijiazhuang city, capital of North China's Hebei province. He keeps more than 80 boxes of bees, with each bee box carrying no less than 10 combs.

In order to help her father, Yan's daughter even registered the honey as a brand, hoping that the move would help to make their product unique and increase the sales.
