It was a well-known broadcast hosted by a famous anchor.

The topic of discussion was the local honey controversy.

Yang Dae-ho established and was active in the Local Honey Association. He was risking his life and death to certify local honey.

Things didn’t just go smoothly. It was brought from a farm that raises Western bees.

It was the logic that all honey is the same honey. There were more farms raising Western bees than those raising native bees.

The broadcasting station was aware of this controversy and suggested a discussion.

Farmers raising Western bees seem to think this is an opportunity.

They threatened to appear on the show unconditionally. would fight first.

We couldn’t stay still.

The situation was right before honey was sold.

I decided to go on an adventure.

“Don’t worry too much.”

“It’s good to be with you. But the opponent won’t be easy.”

“What do you mean by opponent?”

“He’s a bastard who beats Western bees. While raising bees myself, I look down on people who kill native bees.”

He had been investigating.

Park Moon-ho was a middle-aged man. With 20 years of experience in beekeeping, he was mainly a mobile beekeeper.

He had a bad side, and once he got excited, he had a hard time controlling himself.

Park Moon-ho decided to appear alone. It was because he thought that the person in charge of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety was on his side.

A total of four panels were confirmed.

“Would you like to eat one of these?”

Yang Dae-ho showed Woo Hwang Cheong Shim Hwan. It seemed to be a lot more stressful than I expected.

I chose to receive.

Arrived at the station at the promised time.

Park Moon-ho was staring at Yang Dae-ho. Even before the broadcast, the fight was tense.

The assistant director gave everyone a pin microphone.

“You must not strike or touch the microphone.”

I told him his warning and ran to the PD.

The PD in charge approached us with a cue sheet.

“As you know, our show is live.”

He urged them to refrain from slandering others or promoting products.

Everyone agreed with the PD’s words.

“Okay then, let’s shoot.”

The main camera anchored.

“This is everyone’s discussion about longevity. Today, we would like to hear the views of both sides on the controversy over local honey. Local honey controversy, where did it come from? First, let’s hear the story of the representatives of the local honey. President Yang Dae-ho, please tell us.”

Yang Dae-ho stared at the camera.

“My name is Dae-Ho Yang, president of the Native Bee Association. The reason I came here is because there is no proper certification for local honey.”

“What do you mean by authentication?”

the anchor asked.

“This is because the name of native honey does not exist in the standards of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. So, farmhouses that sell native honey write ‘honey’ and write ‘collected by native bees’ in small print.”

“I didn’t know. You can’t write it as local honey. President Yang Dae-ho, are you right, Secretary Noh Seong-seong?”

The anchor handed the microphone to the senior official of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

“Yes, President Yang Dae-ho is right.”

“Why?”

The anchor asked with questionable eyes.

“From our side, we see both as the same honey.”

“I see it as the same honey.”

“It is because the ingredients are similar.”

“okay. So, what do you think about raising Western bees?”

The microphone passed to Park Moon-ho.

“Many farms that do beekeeping mostly raise Western bees. Do you know the reason, anchor?”

“What?”

“Because native bees are lazy. Western bees produce a large amount of wheat and are easy to grow. On the other hand, native bees have a small amount of harvest and are difficult to raise. As the secretary just said, there is no difference in ingredients either. The reason why we want to give it the name “local honey” is to make it expensive.”

“What did you say now?”

Yang Dae-ho’s facial muscles twitched. Eating woohwang cheongsimhwan didn’t seem to help.

“Everything you have said so far is not true.”

The camera caught me.

The anchor asked me.

“Please introduce yourself.”

“My name is Kim Deok-myung from the Native Bee Association.”

“What do you mean it’s all not true?”

I pulled out the handout I prepared in advance. The assistant director came out and handed out the materials to the anchors and the panelists.

“what is this?”

The anchor asked me.

“This is an ingredient analysis table we inquired from the German Beekeeping Association. This time, I analyzed the ingredients of the local honey that I harvested. There is also an item comparing ingredients with Western honey. If you look at the analysis, you will see that native honey is rich in antioxidants that inhibit aging.”

“Really, it is. The components of sugar are similar, but the antioxidant content of native honey is excellent.”

The anchor nodded and said.

“Anchor-sama is right.”

The material arrived this morning. This was the reason I delayed the sale.

I didn’t want to sell honey with the title of passing on the beekeeping of Jijangsa.

I wanted to prove scientific facts.

It is difficult to become a regular customer who comes only after hearing rumors.

An objective basis was needed to create regular customers.

That was the secret to winning the hearts of consumers.

“Could you possibly know why the ingredients of local honey are different?”

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

Not only the anchor, but all eyes in the studio turned to me.

“As Mun-ho Park said, native bees are very difficult to raise. The reason is that honey is only harvested under favorable conditions. Especially vulnerable to pesticides. It is different from Western bees, which are highly toxic. If you think of it as a fish that lives only in first-class water, it will be easy to understand. The ingredients are also different because it is harvested only in the best conditions.”

“Now I understand. Were you aware of this fact?”

He was restless.

“It’s a fact that we did a test a long time ago on our side. I didn’t know this existed.”

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

No gaps could be found in the data. The analysis was accurate.

Park Moon-ho sighed at the remarks of the old man.

The anchor tried to hand over the microphone to Park Moon-ho, but he refused.

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

Mike came back to me.

“I am not here to fight. I came here just to call local honey as local honey. I am not here to criticize the cultivation of Western bees. Rather, we came to join forces.”

“What does it mean to join forces?”

the anchor asked.

“It’s about certifying correctly. It is a job to differentiate between local honey and western honey and certify it. I think that’s what living together is.”

“Is there anything Kim Deok-myeong is aiming for?”

“Next time I will not send the goods to Germany.”

“What does that mean?”

The anchor showed strong curiosity.

“We plan to set up a research center in Hadong.”

“A lab?”

“Isn’t that kind of work that requires a lot of money and manpower?”

“This is something that cannot be done considering the current money and manpower alone. But having a goal gives you the strength to run. I just run for my goals.”

“I heard you well. I will personally support Kim Deok-myung’s goal.”

“thank you.”

After the broadcast, Yang Dae-ho and I left the studio.

Park Moon-ho offered me a handshake.

I took his hand.

“Come on, it’s good to have a fight. I liked it.”

Park Moon-ho only had a bad side, but he didn’t seem like a bad person.

Yang Dae-ho saw this and laughed out loud.

The broadcast went out and there was an explosive reaction.

It was an inquiry to buy honey.

From existing members to outsiders, the purchase intention was overflowing.

There were not only individual buyers, but also groups.

From environmental groups to eco-friendly research groups, inquiries were coming from unexpected places.

The reaction was hot.

Two days later, the work entrusted to Min-seok and Ka-hee was finished.

I opened the ‘Jirisan Farmers’ site.

Finally, they started selling honey that they had been digging for.

sustainable work

Honey was sold at a frightening rate.

Consumers did not just buy honey.

The ‘Farmers of Jirisan Mountain’ site was filled with not only reviews but also messages of support.

– Jirisan farmers who save native bees are cool.

-I bought dried persimmons here on New Year’s Day, and I also bought local honey. Thrive.

-Thank you for being able to purchase local honey picked in a good environment.

-Fighting Jirisan Farmers!

* * *

Unlike dried persimmons, honey sales were physically manageable.

Honey was less laborious than dried persimmons.

Dried persimmons had to be packed one by one, and the boxes also differed depending on the size.

Honey has been bottled in glass bottles since harvest.

All were standardized to 1 kg per bottle.

After acquiring the brand, the label work was finished.

A box for packaging the product was also prepared in advance.

It was enough to put the wax candle Kahi made and put it in the box.

She seemed to be a master of candles.

Consumer response to the gift was also very good.

-I am very impressed that the wax candle was a gift.

-I was surprised that it looked more expensive than honey.

-Do you not sell beeswax candles separately?

There was even talk of buying beeswax candles. I expected it, but I didn’t expect it to be this hot.

The tool created by Minseok also analyzed the log records of visitors.

Upon analysis, an interesting phenomenon was discovered.

Some people came just for support, regardless of purchase.

It was an encouraging phenomenon.

Honey jars piled up in the warehouse were exposed.

“Today, everything will run out.”

Kahi said with a sad expression on her face.

“It’s only been three days…”

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

Minseok said. He also had a sad face.

It was a miracle in 3 days.

It sold faster than dried persimmons.

It’s record sales time.

After the afternoon, all the remaining honey seemed to be exhausted.

“Everyone worked hard. Let’s get together in the evening.”

After talking to the members, I prepared to go out.

“Where are you going?”

We worked together for three days, so I was curious about the sudden outing.

“I have a business to stop by the Native Bee Association. It is also a special request from Ms. Yang.”

When Professor Yang Dae-ho’s name appeared, they too nodded.

They also did not forget that they received help from Yang Dae-ho.

For three days, my parents worked together.

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

My parents worked harder than when I was working with dried persimmons.

When the object exposed the floor, I told the two of you to rest for a while, saying we will finish it.

Unlike the case of dried persimmons, he readily responded.

It doesn’t matter if we’re young, but the two of us had a limit in their physical strength.

It was a face that put down the burden on me and the members.

It was the best moment to sell honey.

“Are you all getting together in the evening?”

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

Mother asked.

“Yes, I will come home as soon as I finish my work for the Native Bee Association.”

“Be careful with your car.”

Dad laughed and said.

Seeing my parents relaxed, I felt at ease.

I got in the car and drove to the meeting point.

* * *

Yang Dae-ho asked me not to miss the meeting today.

I wondered what was going on.

After appearing on TV, he was busy selling honey.

I have not heard of any news related to the Indigenous Bee Association.

I thought it would be nothing special.

The meeting was held at a restaurant where they agreed to form a native bee association.

“Did Deokmyeong come?”

Yang Dae-ho welcomed me. I thought it would be a small gathering.

As expected, the restaurant was full of people.

It seemed more than when the first meeting was formed.

At the time there were about 50 people, but now it seems to be twice as many.

It seemed that the magic of the bonbon had also taken place here.

Yang Dae-ho came forward.

He sat down and opened his mouth.

“It has not been a long time since our association was established. Still, a lot happened. At the center is a young man. Today’s meeting was prepared to praise the young man’s hard work. Kim Deok-myeong, please come forward.”

It was an unexpected development. I thought it was just a place for discussion. I never imagined that an event like this would happen.

Standing up with a surprised expression, people sent out thunderous shouts.

“This is the first award given by the association. Take it.”

Yang Dae-ho handed me a certificate and prize money.

“What did I do?”

I asked him carefully. Yang Dae-ho laughed out loud.

“Everyone, Mr. Kim Deok-myeong asks. What have you done?”

At Yang Dae-ho’s words, everyone grabbed their belly button and laughed.

“Can anyone explain to Kim Deok-myeong instead of me?”

A man jumped up from his seat.

“It was very difficult for us for several days because of Kim Deok-myeong.”

“What happened?”
