GOLESTAN, Iran

In the captivating landscape of Iran's Hyrcanian forests, stretching along the Caspian Sea's southern coast, dedicated beekeepers are now reaping the sweet rewards of their labor.

The honey's unique flavor has made it a preferred choice among the local community in the Ramiyan city in the country's northeastern Golestan province, cherishing it for its distinct taste and authenticity.

They value this natural treat not just for its delicious taste but also for its cultural importance.
