The Hoengseong Branch of the (non-profit) Korea Beekeeping Association (Branch Head Yoon Sang-bok) and the Hoengseong Beekeeping Research Association implemented warm acts of sharing for the local community as the year-end approached. Over the past year, the association and the research group used honey collected by members to create 5,000 single-use honey sticks (worth 4 million won) that can be easily consumed. They delivered these to the Hoengseong County Office on the 18th. The donated honey sticks are scheduled to be distributed to single-parent families and vulnerable households in the county. Separately, the association plans to donate 13,000 honey sticks (worth 10.4 million won) to the Hoengseong Branch of the Korean Senior Citizens' Association on November 24.
