A Returning Genius Farmer Grows Money Indefinitely

“Did you learn from Maehwa, too? Native bees need some space. You can’t put them side by side.”

Because of the exclusive nature of the native bees, they should not be kept close to each other.

As he said, there was no room for more hives in the apiary.

“How many more do you plan to put?”

father asked. Everyone had their ears pricked up.

“A hundred more.”

People’s faces turned white like steamed buns.

It wasn’t just greed. It was a necessity.

There was someone I had to meet to solve the problem.

That afternoon, Yang Dae-ho visited our house.

“I heard the sale went well.”

Yang Dae-ho looked good. He said he would form an association and opened the site a week later.

He seemed to like the way my work was done.

“It’s all thanks to the president.”

He served as the first president of the Indigenous Bee Association.

No one was against it.

He was a respected figure among those who raised native bees.

“It’s awkward being the president. Just call me comfortably.”

“All right.”

“Can you see the bee?”

A twinkle flashed in Yang Dae-ho’s eyes.

He was curious to hear that I had brought the beehive from Jijangsa Temple. Having tasted the taste of nectar honey, the curiosity must have increased.

took him to the apiary.

He didn’t express it, but he seemed surprised by the large scale.

“This is it.”

The hives brought from Jijangsa Temple were in special storage.

He carefully opened the hive lid.

As he looked inside, his complexion changed.

He seemed excited.

“This!”

He knew it too. The native Korean bee was not a pure species. The official name was oriental bee.

It was a punishment for living in Korea, China, and Japan. But the punishment he is facing now is different from that.

“Isn’t this a native bee that I thought had disappeared?”

He recognized it at once.

“The light shines on the wings. What was said in the literature was true.”

It was a punishment that I only read or heard about.

A bee with a soft golden color on its wings.

It was a pure native bee known to be extinct.

“If the opportunity arises, I would like to raise one too.”

Yang Dae-ho has been in the beekeeping business for 40 years. It was no exaggeration to say that he lived his life with bees.

The pride in raising native bees was also great. However, the bees raised so far were not pure blood.

Bees that grow wild in the East were considered native bees and were bred.

Seeing pure native bees made me greedy.

“It’s only one bottle, but there’s nothing that can’t be done.”

He looked excited like a child.

“You know, it takes time.”

“I know it well.”

“I will be asking Ms. Yang for help, too.”

“If you need anything, just tell me. I will be your hands and feet and move.”

“It is reassuring to hear the word.”

Yang Dae-ho looked like he was going to get rid of the liver.

That evening, there was a meeting at the town hall.

The organizer of the meeting was me.

The details were not disclosed, but it had been announced a few days ago.

We asked them to discuss together what would be beneficial to everyone.

The town hall was overcrowded.

It seemed that all the farmers in Hadong had gathered.

There were also familiar faces. Ka-hee’s father, Jeong Gil-san, was sitting in the front seat.

Senior citizen Lee Chun-bae, who runs a rural experience learning center at Xiamun Elementary School, also came.

Even the grandmothers of the Hadong Women’s Hall seemed to have come.

There were quite a few people standing because there was no place to sit.

It was a huge response.

I went out to the podium. The buzzing sound stopped in an instant.

Everyone was paying attention to me.

“This is farmer Kim Deok-myung.”

It didn’t even start, but applause erupted from all sides. I remember the first time I stood here.

Now I can afford it.

“This year’s dried persimmon farming was a bountiful year. I think it’s all thanks to the villagers.”

It reminded me of buying persimmons through credit.

Without them, the dried persimmons could not be farmed.

“As you know, dried persimmons are winter farming. Until winter arrives, I plan to do beekeeping.”

The hall was buzzing with the word beekeeping.

He was curious about what he was going to do with beekeeping.

“The reason I chose beekeeping is simple. Because of the abundance of fruit trees in the village.”

He looked like he didn’t understand what I was saying.

“The reason the persimmon tree bears fruit is because it has been pollinated by bees. Bees pollinate through pollen while collecting nectar. It works on behalf of humans. If the bees don’t pollinate, people have to pick up a brush and do it themselves.”

“I have that experience too.”

Similar noises came from all over the place.

It was a look that I could understand a little now.

“I’m going to give you one of the beehives.”

The hall began to shake when he said that he would give me a beehive. An old man calmed people down.

“I am not talking about buying beehives. When you let go of the hive, it means that you leave it to the management.”

“It’s a free job.”

complaints emerged. There were people who agreed with that statement. It was the expected reaction.

“It’s not free. In return for your care, we will give you one beehive. One more for each hive. You can do whatever you want with the income from the free beehive.”

“No, is that really true? When are you going to do it?”

“We plan to sell it within a week. Given the situation, we are also planning to provide one more hive every year.”

“Is it not enough to give one for each, so you’re going to give more every year? Am I right that I heard right now?”

“You heard me right. Instead, there are conditions.”

“What are the conditions?”

When the word “condition” came up, everyone’s eyes widened.

Everyone looked nervous.

“The conditions are simple. They don’t use pesticides.”

“Is that all there is to say?”

“Of course there is one more. Depending on the condition of the hive, we will decide whether to give another hive or not.”

“Is that the end?”

“That’s all.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be nothing? Because we are eco-friendly, there is no need to use pesticides. And, as you said, the bees work for us, so there’s no reason we can’t take care of them.”

The tension disappeared from the faces of the people in the hall.

Suddenly, he was smiling like a god.

“Under those conditions, you can get headaches, headaches, and fevers instead of just one.”

Everyone seemed to agree with that statement. Still, confirmation was needed. It was just in case.

“Whoever disagrees or dislikes, speak now. I will not give a hive to anyone who does not like my terms.”

I made eye contact with the multitude of people gathered in the hall.

“Those who oppose, raise your hand.”

They all looked around and looked at each other’s faces.

The raising of hands has the effect of showing.

Because it is unanimous that there is no objection.

No one was against it.

“Then I think everyone agrees. The sale method and detailed schedule will be announced later.”

It was an opportunity to test the eco-friendly certification using native bees.

It was also beneficial to all the villagers.

It was also certified as an eco-friendly agricultural product, and free beehives were created.

Of course, it was good for me too. It was to increase the hives without using manpower.

“Deokmyeong, let me see.”

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

My father called me

He had a worried face.

“Why?”

“Isn’t this a big deal?”

“Is it a big deal?”

“It’s about giving people beehives for free.”

I laughed pleasantly.

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

My father looked at me with incomprehensible eyes.

“You don’t have to worry.”

“Is there a way?”

“Yes, there is a way.”

“Can you sneak a peek at me?”

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

My father posed as if asking for a whisper.

It seemed quite curious.

I whispered into my father’s ear.

“There is a way to double your hives.”

doubling

Spring in the south was early. In addition to global warming, flowers bloomed earlier.

“The scent of flowers wafts everywhere.”

said Gahee. It was as she said.

From pear blossoms to peaches and cherry blossoms, there were a lot of colorful flowers that attract bees.

Bees instinctively harvest honey.

The hive was filled with honey.

“that’s interesting. Soon it will be full of honey.”

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

Minseok looked into the beehive and said. It was thanks to the careful management until now.

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

Not only the apiary in the house, but also the beehives sold to the villagers were filled with honey.

There were a lot of people who wanted to get a beehive. Each bottle was distributed equally.

In total, there were 200 or so beehives in my apiary and beehives sold to people.

“But what are you going to do?”

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

Minseok asked with a curious expression. Ka-hee, who was examining the beehive, also turned her attention.

He seemed to know just by looking at his face.

He was talking about the free hive he promised people.

“You have to keep your promise.”

“It’s hard to get more.”

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

Minseok said in a weak voice.

100 more were sold through the Indigenous Bee Association. But more than that was difficult.

That was the maximum amount that could be sold.

“I have no intention of getting any more.”

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 seemed surprised at my words.

“You mean there’s a way to get punishment without being sold?”

“There is a way.”

“what is that?”

“You will find out soon.”

That evening, I visited Yang Dae-ho’s office.

The nameplate stating that he was the president of the Indigenous Bee Association caught my eye.

“Come here.”

Yang Dae-ho greeted us with a pleasant face.

“I heard that 200 beehives were sold.”

“you’re right.”

“It wouldn’t have been too expensive, but it would be great.”

“The eco-friendly certification I mentioned at the time is in the process of being tested.”

“No, you mean you have already started doing it?”

He rolled his eyes. It was an incredible face.

“The momentum is great.”

“Currently, there are about 100 households raising bees in an eco-friendly way.”

“To become 100 households, that’s great.”

“I think it’s still not enough. We need to increase it more.”

“I strongly agree. I think it should be increased more. That is to save the native bees and the environment.”

It was a Yang Dae-ho response. He wouldn’t have cooperated if he said he only used bees to harvest honey.

Because the content of beekeeping and saving nature were combined, I supported it.

I wasn’t that much of an environmentalist. Eco-friendliness started from the perspective of an advertising planner.

Eco-friendliness was essential even for making high value-added products through agriculture.

“As I said then, if there is anything you need help with, I will do anything to help.”

Yang Dae-ho said with a smile.

“I still need your help.”

“What’s going on? Just talk.”

“Help me with the boning.”

“Bonnies?”

The swarming takes place in the spring, when the harvesting of honey is prosperous. As hibernating bees begin to harvest honey, the number of worker bees produced by the queen bee also increases.

In many cases, they may lay 3,000 eggs per day. As the number of members increases, the hive narrows.

When the house becomes cramped, the worker bees decide to move. It’s not about just leaving.

They produce royal jelly to raise the next queen bee, and before the next queen bee wakes up, they move together with the existing queen bee.

After swarming, the number of worker bees temporarily decreases, but soon finds stability due to the huge spawning of the queen bee.

Bees doubling their numbers in this way.

This series of processes is called shunting.

“You’re helping with the bonfire, so let me know the details.”

“The number of farms I have sold native bees to is 100 households. In exchange for taking the beehive, I promised not to use pesticides. I’m going to give them one beehive as a gift.”

Yang’s eyes twinkled. It was the eyes that read my mind.

“I am planning to increase the number of hives through swarming and to present native bees.”

“You are correct.”

“If that’s the case, I can help. It might be a lot of work, so I’ll try to gather people.”
