The wasp that had spit out and flew down plummeted to the floor.

It was like a plane going down. It happened in an instant.

I tried to touch the wasp that fell on the floor with my finger.

He was dead or not moved.

It was then that I felt a light emanating from my chest.

It was an amber jewel brought from a cave.

A yellow light engulfed the amber jewel.

It was a strange thing.

Arrived at Dortmund Airport. Dortmund was a city with a football club called the Bee Corps.

I saw people holding signs at the airport.

‘Welcome guests from Korea.’

They were from the German Beekeeping Association.

“hello. My name is Kim Deok-myung.”

“welcome. My name is Little Hans.”

It was Hans, a supervisor at the German Beekeeping Association. Fortunately, he was fluent in English, so communication by e-mail was not a problem.

I thought that studying English to die to get a job at an advertising company was so helpful.

I exchanged emails with him several times. He even told me that his nickname was Little Hans.

Having passed his sixtieth birthday in Korean age, he has a cute nickname of little boy. He said he was nicknamed because he was short for a German.

He was a man with a great sense of humor.

It was the first time we met face-to-face, but it felt familiar.

Lee Young-ho was also fluent in English. He dealt naturally with people. It wasn’t Lee Young-ho who was shy.

“Lee Young-ho, you seem like a different person today. It’s not awkward to deal with people.”

I asked on the go. Lee Young-ho made an embarrassed expression.

“I tend to be less nervous in a foreign country. It’s also a business trip.”

He showed a different side when it came to work. Of course, the unfamiliar air of Germany must have played a part in awakening him.

“You must be tired. Shall we go home today?”

I asked Lee Young-ho for a doctor. He said he was in good shape.

“it’s okay. Let’s go to the association office.”

“It’s nice to be young. Then I’ll go to the office.”

Hans said with a smile.

We arrived at the office of the German Beekeeping Association. It was a building made of yellow bricks.

It was a place where German beekeeping farms were managed.

There were colorful beehives outside the building. They were beehives used for mobile beekeeping.

“This is a gift from Korea.”

I unpacked the presents in Hans’s office.

Local honey, beeswax candles, and dried persimmons came out.

“What is this?”

“It’s called dried persimmon.”

“It is a traditional Korean food. It is made by drying persimmons in winter.”

“Can I eat it?”

“Anyway.”

Hans ate a dried persimmon.

“Wow, it tastes sweeter than honey.”

He opened his eyes wide and said. It was an expression of falling in love with the sweetness of dried persimmons.

We gave gifts and chatted for a while.

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

Now it was time to get to the point.

“Isn’t the drug you mentioned okay?”

“of course.”

Hans said with a smile.

“Honestly, I was a little surprised to see Mr. Kim Deok-myeong.”

“Are you surprised?”

“I never thought that Kim Deok-myeong was a young man. When I saw the contents of the article, it reminded me of a middle-aged man.”

“You did.”

“I’m sorry if I was rude. I felt the sincerity in the writing. It’s about worrying about the beekeepers.”

Then there was coffee. I took a sip of hot coffee.

I saw a picture of Hans in the office.

From childhood to middle age.

All pictures were taken with beehives.

“I started beekeeping from a young age. I have lived with bees all my life.”

He pointed to the picture hung in the middle on the wall.

Unlike the other photos, there were only beehives.

“This is before all the hives were burned. All the hives had to be incinerated because of the epidemic. Every time I look at that picture, my heart is heavy. I promise I will never do something like that again.”

he said with a firm face.

“As Kim Deok-myeong said, the only way is to prepare in advance.”

He nodded at his words.

If you don’t prepare now, beekeepers in Korea will have to go through the same thing.

Korea also has an epidemic and incinerated all the bees.

I remembered the face of the farmer who was weeping as he burned the hive. At that time, I was not prepared in advance.

By preparing with medicines, disasters could be prevented.

“I have a contract with me.”

I handed out the contract to Hans.

It was about purchasing drugs.

Hans looked at the documents meticulously.

After confirmation, the contract was signed.

“There will be no damage to Korean farmers through Kim Deok-myeong’s efforts.”

Hans looked at Lee Young-ho for a moment.

“How about a tour of the lab tomorrow? It will be dinner time soon.”

“That’s right.”

Lee Young-ho answered calmly.

“Have you made a reservation for a restaurant?”

Hans looked at me and asked.

There was no reservation other than accommodation.

“If you don’t have a reservation, how about eating at our house?”

I met Lee Young-ho’s eyes. He nodded his head lightly.

A place for dinner has been decided.

We headed to Little Hans’ house.

The dinner table was simpler than expected.

“A rustic German meal. I wish I could put it in my mouth.”

The main dish was mashed potatoes topped with sausage, pickled cabbage and salad. Cheese and bread were also deliciously set. Also, like a German, there was no beer on the table.

“Cheese and beer are homemade.”

Before dinner, Hans changed into a yellow soccer jersey.

Wearing that dress and drinking beer reminded me of a bee.

“Korea’s native honey was very impressive. Just like Kim Deok-myeong came to Germany, I want to go to Korea.”

He said as he took a sip of his beer.

“Anytime welcome.”

It was also the reason why Hans actively helped me.

When he commissioned him for the ingredients of native honey, he showed a deep interest in native bees.

He said he wanted to do it at the research level, not just of interest.

It was believed that the unique properties of native bees produced honey with rich antioxidant properties.

He said he wanted to make better honey through research.

I wanted drugs, and he wanted to study native bees.

What we want from each other is right.

“If I hadn’t been a beekeeper, I would have been a footballer.”

He smiled, his cheeks blushing from a glass of beer.

At that time, the outdoor theater of Xiamen Elementary School.

Han Ki-tak and Baek Min-seok were frying popcorn.

People flocked to Xiamen Elementary School.

“Chief of the Management Support Team, didn’t you say that you would not be involved in theater-related affairs?”

“It did.”

Han Gi-tak said while pouring Coke into a paper cup.

“By the way, why are we doing this?”

“It’s about employee welfare.”

“Then what about our welfare?”

“We have to take care of our welfare.”

“how?”

The moment Han Ki-tak was about to answer, Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother appeared.

“What happened to the movie today?”

The film did not need to be airlifted separately.

It was because of the movies that Kim Deok-myung saved.

From foreign films dubbed including Cinema Heaven to Korean films.

Han Ki-tak chose the movie through voting.

Choosing a movie by voting was one of Han Ki-tak’s welfare policies.

“Today’s movie will be Chunhyangjeon.”

Han Gi-tak said with a smile.

“I wanted to see Cinema Heaven one more time…”

Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother had a sad expression on her face.

“See you next time. It will be decided through voting in the future.”

“I’ll have a chance to see you next time.”

Grandma Kim Kkotnim said while holding popcorn.

“By the way, why can’t I see Deokmyeong?”

Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother asked Min-seok.

“I went on a business trip.”

“Where?”

“Germany.”

“What did you do that far away?”

“I went to do something important.”

After the tour of the institute today, I was going to return to Korea right away.

Before that, I had a place to stop by.

I stopped by the beekeeper. because of the hive. There were various types of beehives.

It was different from Korea, which uses Langstros beehives as a standard.

Generally, Western bees use lantros hives, and native bees use logs or stacked boxes.

In Germany, there were several types of beehives, from beehives that were convenient to look inside to those that were easy to move.

I wanted to buy a few. I thought it would be good to take it to Korea and transform it to fit our terrain.

I returned to the hotel with the beehive.

Hans and Lee Young-ho were waiting for me.

“You bought a beehive.”

Hans said with a laugh.

“Today is a tour of the laboratory.”

We got into Hans’ car.

Lee Young-ho’s eyes were shining.

looked excited

“You look good today.”

“is that so?”

He looked like a child on a picnic, looking forward to it.

Hans’ car passed through the entrance to the Natural Substance Lab.

A man in a white robe greeted us in front of the lab.

He was a very tall man.

“It is my son. Say hello to Lucas.”

“hello. This is Lucas.”

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

Me and Lee Young-ho also greeted him.

“Unlike me, he is very tall.”

I never dreamed that Hans’ son would be the director of the institute.

“I wanted to take over beekeeping, but I chose the path of a researcher. Still, studying the substances produced by bees, it can be seen that they are walking the same path, right?”

Hans said with a laugh.

I took an air shower before entering the lab.

I went around the facility wearing a hat, gloves and a mask.

We toured the inside of the lab with Lucas’ guide.

The research center introduced that research in various fields, from research on improving bee breeds to development of beekeeping by-products, is being conducted.

Youngho Lee requested to see the process of extracting propolis.

We went to the product development room and watched the extraction process.

Propolis was born through an elaborate process.

Lee Young-ho asked Lucas about things.

Lucas was a pleasant man like his father. He answered Lee Young-ho’s questions without hesitation.

The planned tour ended there. Now all that remains is to leave for the airport.

“Are you going? I will drive you to the airport.”

Hans beckoned to us.

On the way to the airport, Lee Young-ho was speechless.

“Is there any problem?”

I asked Youngho Lee.

“no problem.”

Contrary to words, he looked like someone with a problem.

He was silent on the way to the airport.

Dortmund Airport was approaching.

Lee Young-ho, who only looked out the window, opened his mouth.

“I have something to tell you.”

His expression was serious.

“Please speak.”

As the two silent men opened their mouths, Hans also showed interest.

He was looking at us through the mirror.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t spare any support?”

“of course.”

“I would like to stay here a little longer.”

It was what I expected.

Young Farmer Internship

Lee Young-ho decided to stay in Germany until his visa expired. There was a sense of tenacity in his eyes.

Young-ho Lee, who was on a tour of the German research institute, said he was greedy. I gladly accepted his offer. When I told Hans the situation, he offered to help.

However, there was one condition.
