Domestic beekeepers are facing difficulties due to the disappearance of honey bees and the introduction of Chinese honey, disguised as Vietnamese honey, to Korea. Recent tests have shown that Vietnamese honey sold in Korea contains a Chinese pesticide called 'Matrine,' which is not found in domestic honey. The increase in imports of honey from Vietnam and the decrease in imports from China raise suspicions about the indirect export of Chinese honey through Vietnam, highlighting the need for stricter tracking and management of foreign honey imports.
