Due to the aftermath of abnormal weather, the damage from bees dying or disappearing is increasing. From early spring, the daily temperature difference has widened to around 20 degrees, and the timing of flowering trees is also getting faster, threatening the bee ecosystem. On the 15th, a beekeeping farm in Sindong-myeon, Chuncheon-si. In the beekeeping farm, which was once full of 100 hives, only 25 hives remained. The number of bees in each hive, which should have been full, decreased from 15,000 to 8,000. Beekeeper Kim Jae-hwan (68) said, "Bees collect nectar and pollen during the day and must return to the hive at night, but many bees are dying outside because the temperature drops rapidly in the evening." He explained, "When the number of bees decreases, the temperature in the hive becomes lower, making it harder for them to lay eggs and hatch, and eventually the hive becomes empty." The blooming time of the main nectar source, the acacia tree, is also speeding up due to climate change. In 2023, the blooming times in Chuncheon, Wonju, and Gangneung were May 22, May 25, and May 15, respectively, but in 2025, they were advanced to May 17, May 13, and May 13. Gangneung showed that the blooming time had advanced by about a week over three years. The Korea Forest Service predicts that the blooming time will advance further to early May this year. Due to climate change, beekeeping farmers are having difficulty matching the honey harvest season. Lee Kyung-bin (75), a beekeeper in Gangneung, said, "The blooming time of the acacia tree is advancing by a week each year, but the growth rate of bees is slower than in previous years, making it difficult to match the harvest season." He said, "The variable due to climate change is the biggest, making farming for beekeeping farmers increasingly difficult every year." The bigger issue is the impact of the decrease in bee population on the entire ecosystem. Bees are a major pollinator, and a decrease in their population directly affects crop production. In particular, crops harvested from late summer to autumn, such as pumpkins and apples, are likely to show damage early on. Therefore, beekeeping farmers have pointed out the need for not only loan support and queen bee purchase support for bee-damaged farms but also a forest plan to preserve the nectar source ecosystem. Park Jong-ho, chairman of the Gangwon Beekeeping Association, said, "The problem of bees disappearing due to climate change is..."

Due to the aftermath of abnormal weather, the damage of bees dying or disappearing is increasing. From early spring, the daily temperature difference has widened to around 20 degrees, and the flowering period of flowering trees has also been accelerating, threatening the bee ecosystem. At a beekeeping farm in Sindong-myeon, Chuncheon City, which once had 100 hives full of bees, only 25 hives remained. The number of bees in each hive, which should have been full with 15,000 bees, has halved to 8,000. Beekeeper Kim Jae-hwan (68) explained, "Bees need to collect nectar and pollen during the day and return to the hive at night, but many are dying outside because the temperature drops rapidly at night."
