Natural honey

  1. Liangliang

    这是(zhèshì)天然(tiānrán)蜂蜜(fēngmì)，没有(méiyǒu)加(jiā)糖(táng)。

    This is natural honey with no added sugar.

  2. Dengdeng

    天然(tiānrán)的(de)，真的(zhēnde)吗(ma)？

    Natural? Really?

    老板(lǎobǎn)说(shuō)，是(shì)山(shān)上(shàng)的(de)蜜蜂(mìfēng)做(zuò)的(de)。

    The boss says it was made by bees on the mountain.

  4. Dengdeng

    天然(tiānrán)的(de)当然(dāngrán)好(hǎo)，可是(kěshì)蜂蜜(fēngmì)本来(běnlái)就(jiù)很(hěn)甜(tián)。
