''집과 차까지 팔고 텐트에 살았어요'', 벌 키워 연 1억 버는 39세 농부의 하루

Farmer's Guide p.017, Obok Honey Farm in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province. It is a farm home to 9 million bees. When you open the door, mugwort smoke comes in first. Since hornets are currently at their peak, we catch 400 of them a day using a tennis racket. What comes out here is not honey, but royal jelly. When we pick up and move the larvae that are barely visible one by one, the worker bees mistake them for the queen and pour royal jelly over them. Once harvesting begins, all work must be finished within two hours. Because it spoils in the meantime. I used to be a career soldier. I started by pouring in my severance pay, my deposit for a rental property, and even loans, but no honey came out for four years. I sold my car, and I sold my house. I lived in a tent. Then, mites that were resistant to medication entered. All 200 hives died. I bought another 200 hives, and they all died again. I moved the farm four times. They told me to leave once I had cleared a road, erected utility poles, and even dug a well. No one taught me, so I studied for two years solely from books. The first royal jelly I managed to collect was just 30 grams. It was a time when seizure notices were plastered on my door. "To me, bees are a very grateful presence that has given me pain, trials, and everything else. But now, they are actually a source of hope." I visited the Obok Honey Farm in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, to meet Farmer Yang Dae-gun. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱ View by Chapter 00:00 Intro 00:43 Opening Greetings 00:58 Self-Introduction 02:41 Why I Touch Bees with Bare Hands 04:49 What Exactly Is Royal Jelly? 05:47 Transferring Larvae One by One 06:14 From Career Soldier to Beekeeping Farmer 08:01 300 Million Won Loss for 4 Years, Lived in a Tent 19:52 Domestic Honey Losing to Imported Honey 26:44 How Do You Eat Royal Jelly? 29:01 What Do Bees Mean to the Two of Us? 31:04 "My Groom Is Like a Worker Bee" 32:47 The First 30 Grams 34:40 Dreaming of Returning to Farming To the people ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎬 Farmer's Archive Recording the stories of a farmer's day, philosophy, and sweat. 📸 Instagram: @farmers_archive_ 📧 Inquiries for appearances/collaborations: [email protected] ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #RoyalJelly #Beekeeping #ReturnToFarming #Honey #YoungFarmer
