I washed my eyes and asked again.

“It’s a vibration-free vehicle used for filming. The camera doesn’t even shake. The bees will be safe.”

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

Minseok said it was the car he chose after deliberation. It was decided that it would be much safer than a non-vibration vehicle in the form of a truck.

I put the hive in the trunk. The trunk also had a special safety device. It was convenient to fix the hive.

It was excellent preparation. He loaded the hive and raised his thumb.

Minseok replied with a smile.

“Everyone, fasten your seat belt. Depart.”

The vibration-free car did not vibrate like a lie. I even felt like I was riding a horizontal version of the escalator.

The figure of Min-seok holding the steering wheel looked reliable.

While I was at Jijangsa, he too was busy. It is a blog work about rural life, and computer education is also provided to local seniors.

The blog work was requested by me, but the computer training was voluntary.

He was broadening his personal connections through computer education.

“Did you go all the way to Suryu Hall and do computer training?”

“There are so many requests.”

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

Min-seok traveled all over Hadong to give computer education. No one knew from the village head. It was a performance beyond expectations.

There would be more human interventions than ever before. There seemed to be no difficulty in securing manpower.

I looked at the two women through the mirror.

In addition to the members of the Jirisan Farmers, there was one more person.

“Did you say that the person who came with you was Maehwa Monk?”

“right.”

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

Minseok asked while driving.

“hello. My name is Baek Min-seok.”

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

Minseok said.

“Monk Maehwa can’t hear you.”

Kahi patted her shoulder and said.

I couldn’t tell Minseok about Maehwa. He was nervous about moving the hive.

Kahi greeted on behalf of Minseok. Monk Maehwa smiled and greeted Minseok.

it wasn’t a joke Kahi greeted in sign language.

“When did you learn sign language?”

asked Gahee.

“I learned it from Master Cotton.”

I was able to communicate with Plum Hwa through handwriting. Still, it was nice to have someone who could sign language.

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

Min-seok and Ka-hee, their abilities were developing day by day.

* * *

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

My mother was out to meet me.

“My son has successfully completed his mission and has arrived.”

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

My mother greeted me with a warm smile. Kahi and Maehwa also greeted their mother.

But no one was visible.

“What about your father?”

“You said you would finish it soon, but you seem to be still working.”

“Is it work?”

It was not time to work.

“What’s going on?”

As soon as he finished speaking, his father appeared. Sweat was dripping down his face.

“Father, where are you from?”

“Let’s go talk about it.”

“Where are you going?”

“You should put the beehive out.”

I turned my head and looked at Minseok. One of his requests was to provide a space for the hive.

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

Minseok avoided my gaze.

“What happened?”

asked Minseok.

“Soon, you will find out. Let’s get the beehive out of the way first.”

It was urgent to put the hive in place, as he said. had traveled a long way. The bees had to be stabilized.

I chased my father with a beehive. The rest of the party moved with us.

“here is!”

For a moment, I doubted my eyes. It was the forest behind the persimmon orchard.

Stones were placed under the tree. They were the pedestals for the beehive.

It was perfectly treated to keep away moisture and bugs.

There was a warehouse on one side. Beehives and beekeeping equipment were neatly laid out there.

“I used my strength before you came.”

Father spread his shoulders and said,

The land was purchased with the remaining money after paying off debt.

It was said to be a gift to the farmers of Jirisan.

It was the apiary I was hoping for. I thanked him for his hard work and dedication.

“do you like it?”

Dad asked with a triumphant face.

“I love it.”

“Now put that burden down.”

Hearing those words reminded me of a time when I wanted to lighten my father’s burden.

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

Now my father has lightened my burden.

When the hive was put down, the monk Maehwa checked the condition of the bees. I also went up close and saw it together. Fortunately, the bee was unharmed.

She placed the bee food and water she brought into the hive.

“So, did it end well?”

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

Mother asked. It was Bona Mana Rice.

“yes. Everything is perfectly done.”

Kahi answered in a charming voice.

They all went home together. Even outside the gate, I could smell the rice being cooked.

It’s been a long time since I ate home cooked food.

* * *

The next morning, we were busy.

The fear of living with the bees was gone. However, knowledge about beekeeping was still lacking.

I decided to get an education as promised.

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

Monk Maehwa decided to stay at Grandma Kim’s house for the time being.

While I was cleaning out the apiary, Min-seok picked up Ka-hee and plum blossoms.

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

My parents also said they wanted to get an education together. It was a good sign.

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

Monk Maehwa looked brighter than when he was at Jijangsa. It seemed like he had been spending time with his mother for a while.

“Kahee, do you know how to sign language? It would be nice if you could interpret for us.”

“Because I’m not that good.”

Although she speaks like that, Gahee Jeong had a temperament to learn like a scoundrel. I decided that I must have learned sign language that way.

“please.”

She said she would try even if it wasn’t enough.

He also explained the plum blossoms in sign language.

It was a natural gesture. It wasn’t lacking at all. Also, my guess was correct.

We headed to the apiary.

The sun was still shining, but it looked like spring was coming soon.

Everyone sat in front of the beehive and sat together.

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

Maehwa’s education began.

“In order to raise bees, you have to understand the world of bees.”

Kahi delivered the words of Maehwa.

Everyone nodded as if in agreement.

“People think the bee world is a hierarchical society. In reality, it’s the opposite. It is a completely egalitarian society.”

“Didn’t the queen bee rule the worker bees?”

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

Minseok asked. Kahi told Maehwa in sign language.

“Each one has a role, but does not rule or rule. A honey bee society consists of a single fertile queen bee, a few worker bees, and many workers who have lost their fertility.”

The plum opened the lid of the hive at the same time as she spoke. Everyone got up and went to the hive.

“The master of the bee world is the worker bee. When a worker bee is born, it is responsible for raising the child. This is because the glands develop and become the conditions for nurturing the offspring.”

“I thought you would pick honey as soon as you become a bee.”

This time it was my mother. Kahi’s hands were busy.

“I don’t go to pick honey right away just because childcare is over. After that, the beehive is built. The house is built using the wax secreted from the stomach. It is to create a hexagonal house in the dark without a single error.”

“Then, when the wax glands degenerate, they are only looking for flowers.”

I said.

The plum looked at me and smiled.

It was a look that was correct.

“yes. you’re right. When the gland function and the function of producing beeswax deteriorate, they go out. To bring honey and pollen to feed the family.”

“Worker bees are really great.”

My father said in admiration. It wasn’t just my father.

Everyone was immersed in the mysterious world of bees.

There was a scene that came to mind too.

It was time to spend the night alone next to the beehive.

I saw a bee going to die. This was to prevent his corpse from harming other bees.

It was an instinctive action to save the group.

Bees dedicate their entire lives to saving the community.

Bees were more attractive creatures the more they looked at them.

“May I have a taste?”

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

My father saw the monk Maehwa and asked. As I listened to the education, it seemed that I was curious about the taste of honey.

Looking at their faces, they all looked the same. My parents and Min-seok looked curious about the taste.

The plum blossoms also read their minds.

“Then let’s have a taste, shall we?”

Kahi delivered the words of Maehwa. Everyone nodded like a doll.

I could barely hold back the laughter bursting out of my childish appearance.

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

Maehwa monk poured honey. It was enough for everyone to taste a spoonful at a time.

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

Not only did it come with honey, but it also came with a little honeycomb.

Everyone put honey in their mouth and savored the taste.

When I chewed the honeycomb, the honey inside burst out and spread in my mouth.

There was a sweet and refreshing scent of the forest.

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

My father was a moved face. Mother nodded her head. Minseok rubbed his mouth as if it wasn’t enough.

“Really, it tastes amazing.”

Everyone burst into admiration.

I also sympathized. There was a slight difference in taste.

The taste was different from the honey I ate at Jijangsa Temple.

By comparison, the honey I ate now was better.

It was the scent of a fresh forest and the sweetness was excellent. The aftertaste was also sweeter.

I was curious about the secret of the taste.

During my break, I had time with Monk Maehwa.

As always, I was comfortable talking with her.

[The honey we taste now is produced by bees during hibernation?]

[yes. That’s right]

[Is it true that honey produced by eating Plum Blossom monk’s bee rice?]

[you’re right]

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

Monk Maehwa showed the paper with a natural expression on his face.

The secret to the taste was in the bee rice.

I guessed her bee food was the only reason.

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

Native bees only harvest honey once a year. Because they have to leave some honey for them to eat.

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

No matter how much you leave behind, there are cases where you don’t have enough. Because humans pick honey.

A typical beekeeper feeds hibernating bees with sugar water. The honey thus produced is picked before the flowers bloom.

That honey is called fermented honey. It is literally honey fed with sugar. It wasn’t the honey that the bees picked up on the flower.

Plum Blossoms do not feed sugar water to bees. She made and fed bee rice made with her own secret recipe.

I remembered that it was made with tea flowers, wild flowers and leaves. I was curious about the specific method.

[Could you tell me how to make bee rice?]

[Of course]

The plum smiled. I responded with a smile.

Soon the training started again.

Plum Hwa talked about how to make bee rice as promised.

Listening to her, I was devising a differentiation strategy.

It was honey with a unique taste. The ingredients will also be excellent.

He wanted to establish a research institute and uncover the secrets of the ingredients.

It was a product that would have a big impact on the market if its utility was known through clinical trials.

I looked at the beehive I had brought from the Jijangsa Temple. Jizo’s beehive is a symbolic item, so I wanted to have at least one.

But this alone was not enough.

‘It is one barrel now, but it will soon become a hundred and a thousand barrels.’

The idea was to fill the apiary with beehives.

Beehives will also be placed in the villagers’ orchards.

Beyond Hadong to other areas.

It was time to take the next step.

A good start is a good ending

When I thought that more punishment was needed, Hwang Yu-shin came to mind.

He used various natural ingredients in the process of making the dried persimmon fermented broth. Among them was wax.

It was a technology to make dried persimmons with fermented beeswax. At that time, I was asked about the source of the item.

Yushin Hwang said with a smile.

“He’s a celebrity like me.”

The wax he used was of the highest grade. The master only used the master’s stuff.

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

Now I need him too.

As soon as I woke up the next morning, I called Hwang Yu-shin.

“Sir, this is my name.”

“He was alive. I thought he was dead because there was no phone call.”

It was a conversation that was quietly waiting for a call. When I heard his voice, I wanted to see him too.

“Teacher, do you have time today?”

“why? Bring me a jar of honey.”

“yes. Absolutely.”

He knew that I had started beekeeping.

I made an appointment to meet with the teacher.

* * *

I finished my beekeeping training in the morning and got into the car. A plum was burning next to him.

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

Min-seok had a job, so I took the road instead. There was something I wanted to ask her.

It was something I had been thinking about all night last night.

Parked the car for a while near the house. She looked at me with puzzled eyes.

I took out a pen and a notebook. She nodded as if she understood.

[If you use bee food, won’t native bees get honey twice?]

[I have never increased honey that much]
