>Exact. It is the case for Apis cerana honey, it sells at much higher price in Asia !
In southern India most of the beekeeping is done with cerana and there is little mellifera honey. I would have said that the work is actually easier.
The real money comes from stingless bees (Trigona) which is regarded as Ayervedic and commands a very high price.
