A Returning Genius Farmer Grows Money Indefinitely

[It is bee rice]

It is artificially made rice for bees who cannot gather wheat in winter. No matter how much you hibernate, you have to absorb sugar.

Even if the honey is reserved for bees, there is not enough food because humans collect the honey.

I heard that they usually feed them with sugar water.

Honey harvested with sugar is commonly sold in supermarkets.

But the bee rice she brought out didn’t look like sugar water.

When I got all the bee food out of my backpack, I asked her.

[What are the ingredients of bee rice?]

[I made it with tea flowers, wild flowers and leaves]

[No sugar added]

[I do not feed sugar to my bees. And from now on, keep an eye on me feeding the bees]

[Should I do this too?]

[I am not going to give it all at once. Give me a little bit each day after I go. I will take care of what happens after that]

[Is this also homework?]

[This is not homework, but raising bees. Check the condition every day and change the water]

She approached the chest in the corner of the cave. There were tools necessary for beekeeping. Mosquitoes were hung on the walls, and beekeeping hats and gloves were provided.

I opened the box and took out a flat knife from inside. It was like a bread knife that bakers use to cut dough.

I immediately took the beehive lid off with a flat knife. He did not wear insect repellent or gloves that he wore while beekeepers. I’ve been told that old people don’t use it.

She cut off the honeycomb lid like she cut bread. The lid, which the bees had glued with propolis, opened in an instant.

I also looked at the bees next to her. The bees were meek. Occasionally a few bees hummed and sat softly on her hand.

It looked like he was saying hello.

She placed bee rice made from natural ingredients inside the honeycomb.

I watched it silently.

The work was done iteratively. Her mastered movements were quick and precise. After work, she turned and looked at me.

He even wrote on paper.

[If you are not confident, it doesn’t matter if you don’t feed the bees. That amount is enough to withstand it.]

I knew what she meant.

As she said, the bee food was enough.

Feeding and taking food for bees was the basis of beekeeping. A farmer who could not give affection to the bees was unqualified.

[I will try my best]

[I have one last thing I want to say]

[Tell me]

[If you stay here until the promised time, I will keep my promise. I also plan to sell the bees here.]

[thank you]

[There is one thing to note, however]

[What is that?]

[Don’t be afraid that the bee comes out. It’s because you’re going to the bathroom or have other chores.]

It’s the first time I’ve heard of such a thing because it’s a different chore than the bathroom. She wrote it down on a piece of paper.

Even if bees hibernate during the winter, they have physiological effects. eating and going to the toilet. He said that he eats at home, but sees things outside.

Keeping clean and protecting the house.

[Small creatures do not mean that they are not aware of cleanliness. He sacrifices himself to protect his house.]

[Then what is the punishment for doing other things?]

[To die]

[Die?]

The lifespan of a bee born in summer is about 45 days. They make a house out of beeswax and work to collect honey and live for just over a month.

On the other hand, bees born in late autumn have a lifespan of 6 months. It protects the hive during the period when there are no flowers and promises the next.

That’s how the bees kept their lives.

However, even in winter, bees that have reached the end of their lifespan do come out. Bees who knew they were going to die would come out on their own.

[Is this also to avoid polluting the beehive?]

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Master Maehwa nodded his head. Dead bees tend to rot. In order not to contaminate the hive with their own corpses, they fly away and die.

[Better than humans in some ways]

Seeing my post, her eyes reacted. was trembling slightly. Somehow she seemed to know about her past.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Monk Maehwa organized his bag.

And finally, I wrote on paper.

[I’ll tell you one more time. Never be afraid if the bee comes out]

[I already put it in my head]

I showed the text and pointed my finger at my head.

Whether my appearance was funny or her serious expression was erased.

[I hope the bees choose you]

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Monk Maehwa left those words and turned around and left.

In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references

Now, only me and the bees remain in the cave.

3 days 2 nights in the cave

In the process of obtaining honey, bees fertilize fruit trees, vegetables, and numerous plants. Converting that into money, it amounts to about 370 trillion won worldwide.

Even counting fruits and vegetables in Korea alone, it is about 6 trillion won.

Small workers account for 70% of the world’s food harvest.

Contrary to the huge number, there are not enough support measures to increase the competitiveness of beekeeping farms.

There is even a tendency to look down on them compared to farms that raise livestock such as cattle and pigs. This is because they are dismissed as farmers who simply use bees to harvest honey.

It is true that it is actually less expensive than other livestock farming. It is also a farming job easily recognized by city dwellers who dream of returning to farming because of its many advantages.

When I was an advertising designer, I was also interested in beekeeping. It was because he was attracted to honey and various by-products when selling products made from natural substances.

I imagined hitting bees in a country house, a persimmon tree field.

At that time, it was only an imagination. My body and mind shuddered and I was just dreaming. I didn’t have the courage to take action.

Of course it was different now.

It was planned to build the largest apiary in Korea starting from Hadong.

If possible, I wanted to change the perception of beekeeping.

I checked the time. It was already evening.

‘Now I need to eat something.’

I took something to eat from my backpack. On the way home, the main food was sweet potatoes and potatoes that I shared with Maehwa. There were also six rice balls.

I couldn’t cook using a burner and coppell. This is because bees have been warned that they are sensitive to smells.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Monk Maehwa said that one sleeping bag would be sufficient before departure. The deceased old monk said that he once stayed here for a month.

Even if I couldn’t cook, I thought that there would be a house like a hut. I couldn’t imagine having to live with bees in a cave.

Even if I knew that, nothing would change.

The food was well organized in one place.

Before eating, I had to bring water. Before entering the cave, Monk Maehwa showed us where the spring is.

I got out of the narrow cave entrance with a plastic water bottle.

‘cold.’

The cave was only considered to be enough to block drafts. I didn’t know it was going to be this cold outside. The cave was in some way providing a comfortable environment for the bees.

When I came out, I felt a different sense of dread than the first time. There was a small stone path on the cliff in front of the cave. It was a path leading to a rock on a cliff.

It was not a natural path. It looks like someone made it artificially. Whoever it was, he was the owner of great courage.

I proceeded cautiously without looking down.

As we climbed the mountain road, we saw a fountain that the monk Maehwa had told us. Sam was frozen.

I had to break the ice and draw water. I felt the cold down to my bones.

I filled the bucket with water and headed back to the cave.

– 🥳🥳

A sharp wind blew. My body trembled.

Every time the wind blew, my body staggered. Walking the stone path leading to the cliff became dangerous.

It looked like it would fall down if I made a mistake.

He put the bucket of water in his arms and moved quickly.

We arrived safely in the cave. Unlike the outside, it was quiet and cozy.

A sigh of relief came out.

When the tension was relieved, hunger came.

‘Let’s eat rice.’

As I was about to eat, I saw a bee coming out of the hive.

‘Is it the bathroom?’

I held the potato in my hand and watched the bee silently. The guy who came out of the hive was coming out of the cave.

I took a bite of the potato and waited for him. He waited for a long time, but he didn’t come back. It didn’t look like a bathroom.

‘Are you going to die alone?’

Suddenly, curiosity was aroused. I took a bite of the potato and headed for the cave entrance.

That was then. The bee was coming back into the entrance.

It looks like you went to the bathroom a long way.

When I looked at it, it looked different.

When Monk Maehwa gave food to the bees, he did not have time to look closely at the bees.

‘Can I see your face now?’

I got geared up. He wore a mosquito repellent suit hung on the wall, a hat with a net, and even rubber gloves.

I had no intention of pretending to be an expert like Maehwa on a novice subject.

Rumors that people are getting weird here also caught my heart.

Even a hibernating bee could dislike the smell of a stranger.

Wearing a spacesuit, he lifted the lid.

I gave it strength, but it didn’t open easily. The bees filled the gap between them. They are great workers

The lid was opened with the flat knife used by the plum monk.

‘It was as expected.’

I looked at the bees and cried to myself.

Before entering Jijangsa Temple, I had visited a farm where native bees were raised.

It was a preliminary investigation. There I saw a bee called a native bee.

It was just what I saw in the encyclopedia. The official name was oriental bee.

It was a punishment for inhabiting China and Japan, including Korea.

The characteristics of bees that inhabit only the Korean Peninsula are described in detail in [Nayeon White Paper], a document from the Joseon Dynasty.

It expressed the difference from the species in China and Japan.

‘It’s not an oriental bee.’

The ones I see now were bees that only live on the Korean Peninsula. It was clearly different from the oriental bees I had seen at the native bee farm before coming to Jijangsa Temple.

As with the oriental bees, the smaller ones were the same. However, there was a clear difference in the wings.

It shone like light from its wings.

It was a soft golden color.

It was a pure native bee that several experts say was extinct.

‘I found the perfect native bee.’

This was the real reason I went to the Jizo.

I thought that the Jizo bee might be a pure native bee. It was a bee that had been raised for a long time deep in Mt. Jirisan. The effect of honey was also unique.

The probability was high.

The bees were pretty docile. He made no noise and threatened.

They were pure native bees that made nectar honey.

Seeing it with my own eyes made me want to grow more.

I closed the lid again.

It was the moment when he took off the equipment that was wrapped around his body.

– Knuckle. squeak.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

My stomach churned. Also, one potato couldn’t fill a hungry stomach.

While looking for food, a chocolate bar caught my eye.

It was the chocolate bar that Kahi gave me when I left.

I wanted to eat a chocolate bar that I had never eaten before. My mouth was salivating even when I peeled it off.

With one big mouthful, peace of mind came.

At the same time, I had doubts.

‘When did you buy it?’

her face flashed. He had a sad face wet with tears. It was like an exaggerated character in a comedy.

darkness was falling I pulled out an item from the place where I had organized my food. Lanterns were to be used only in emergencies.

What he held in his hand was a beeswax candle.

* * *

At that time, Gahi and Myeonhwa were sitting alone in a room at Jijangsa Temple.

They sat on their lower necks and forgot the chestnuts.

“But where did everyone go?”

Kahi asked Munhwa while eating roasted chestnuts.

“Today is a practice day. Maybe until dawn.”

“It is a very difficult job for a monk. But aren’t you going?”

“I’m still not learning enough.”

Kahi and Myeonhwa were roommates of Jijangsa. He paired Kahi with Kahi, the youngest member of the Jijangsa Temple, who had been out of the house for a few years.

Kahi heard all the news of Jijangsa through Monk Myeonhwa.

“But is it really okay?”

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Monk Myeonhwa asked Gahi while eating roasted chestnuts. His face was full of sorrow.

“What do you mean?”

I knew she was talking about Deokmyung, but I deliberately pretended not to know. I didn’t want to say I was going crazy because I was worried. It was because of some kind of self-esteem.

“Everyone said that if I went to that cave, they would go crazy.”

Ga-hee knew it well, too. Hearing that, he even tried to rip Deokmyung off. But I wasn’t the one to hear it dry.

That was more annoying and difficult. When I first came to Jijangsa, I felt like I was locked up in a prison. It reminded me of the movie The Shawshank Redemption.

I wanted to escape and be free. But gradually the life of the temple became accustomed to it. They were having fun making soap and candles.

The problem was Kim Deok-myung. no it was plum If you’re going to teach me, I’ll teach you nicely, and I’m telling you to go to the cave that appears in horror movies.

“I don’t think my sister has anything to worry about. Deokmyeong is close to your brother, right?”

“What are you worried about? I don’t care if they freeze to death in the cave or not.”

“I thought you two were dating.”

“Are you dating? Who says that?”

It was a moment when Kahi was scorned. The door opened and Yeonhwa, the governor, entered.

At first glance, his face was full of worry.

She fixed her gaze on Ga-hee.

“Mr. Gahee.”

“yes?”

Kahi asked with a surprised face.

“Have you not contacted Mr. Deok-myung?”

“no. I haven’t been in touch, so why are you doing that?”

“No. it’s nothing.”

Ju Ji Yeon-hwa sighed and went outside.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Myeon-hwa confirmed that the governor had left and turned to Ka-hee.

“What happened?”

Kahi’s face turned pale.

* * *

I repeated the removal and insertion of the auxiliary battery of the cell phone. Obviously, they had been fully charged when they arrived.

It doesn’t even turn on now. It looked like it was completely discharged because of the cold.

‘It’s all wrong to keep the promise I made with the governor.’

I left the appointment and communication was completely cut off. When this happened, they had to stay in isolation for three days and two nights.

It was unavoidable.

I went into my sleeping bag.

It was the first time since the military service to have a bibik in the mountains.

I watched the wax candles burn in my sleeping bag.

Even in the middle of the night, bees came out of the hive to do business.
