“Importance of Urban Beekeeping for Honey Bee Ecosystem Preservation”

Professor Suh Gyeong-deok of Sungshin Women’s University released a video to publicize the importance of ‘urban beekeeping’ to preserve the honey bee ecosystem on May 20th, ‘World Bee Day’.

On the 19th, Professor Seo announced that he and actress Kim Hyo-jin had released a multilingual video called ‘For the Bees’ online. The video emphasizes the importance of ‘urban beekeeping’ to conserve the bee ecosystem threatened by climate change, and helps netizens work for bees in their daily lives, such as planting ‘mild garden plants’ that become food for bees and planting trees to reduce fine dust. Here’s how you can put it into practice. Kim Hyo-jin, who served as MC in KBS’ ‘Environmental Special’, was in charge of narration.

In fact, the mass death of honey bees that occurred since last year has more than doubled in damage this year, with about 23.6 billion bees dying. It is estimated that the cause is a combination of various factors due to abnormal weather caused by climate change.

The 4-minute video produced this time is part of KB Financial Group’s ‘K-Bee’ project. Various measures are being pursued, such as announcing a plan to create 10,000 trees.

Professor Seo, who planned the video production, said, “If it spreads the importance of the global environment and leads to small actions by netizens, it will be of great help to enhance the national brand.” He also shared the video with major Korean and international student communities around the world. .

Actor Kim Hyo-jin, who is in charge of narrating, said, “I am happy to directly convey the importance of the bee ecosystem with my voice, and I just hope that netizens will watch this video a lot.”
