甲仙深山中，尋覓純淨蜜香：阿田養蜂場的驚喜發現A Serendipitous Discovery: Pure Honey from Atian Bee Farm in Jiaxian
一次偶然的甲仙之旅，在靈隱寺山路旁，意外發現了這座隱身於山林間的「阿田養蜂場」。
During a chance trip to Jiaxian, I stumbled upon Atian Bee Farm, nestled deep within the mountains near Lingyin Temple.
這裡的蜂蜜，與市售的截然不同。養蜂場主人阿田伯告訴我，他們堅持使用最天然的方式養蜂，不添加任何人工添加物，讓蜜蜂自由採集山林間最純淨的花蜜。
The honey here is unlike any I've ever tasted. Mr. Atian, the owner of the farm, shared that they adhere to the most natural beekeeping methods, avoiding any artificial additives. Instead, they allow the bees to freely collect the purest nectar from the surrounding forests.
什麼樣的蜂蜜才算純？
What makes honey pure?
天然花蜜： 純蜂蜜是由蜜蜂採集花朵中的花蜜釀製而成，不添加任何糖漿或水。
Natural Nectar: Pure honey is produced exclusively from nectar collected by bees from flowers, without any added sugars or water.
無加熱處理： 高溫加熱會破壞蜂蜜中的酵素和營養成分，因此純蜂蜜通常不經過高溫殺菌。
Unheated: High temperatures can destroy the enzymes and nutrients in honey, so pure honey is typically unheated.
無過濾： 過濾會去除蜂蜜中的花粉和蜂蠟，而這些正是蜂蜜營養價值的來源。
Unfiltered: Filtering removes pollen and beeswax from honey, which are essential for its nutritional value.
阿田伯的蜂蜜，正是符合這些標準的純蜂蜜。我品嚐了一口，蜂蜜的香氣在口中久久不散，甜而不膩，還能嚐到花朵的清香。
Mr. Atian's honey perfectly meets these standards. With each spoonful, the sweet, floral aroma lingers in my mouth, offering a taste that is both delicate and satisfying.
