Younghwa-dong 'Ddaengbeol and Younghwa Village People' Harvest Honey

'Ddaengbeol and Younghwa Village People' (Chairman Lee Young-jae) in Younghwa-dong, Jangan-gu, Suwon announced on the 12th that it plans to harvest acacia honey from beehives kept on the rooftop of the community center and donate it to underprivileged neighbors and senior welfare centers.

As Younghwa-dong is an urban area with no vacant land and densely packed commercial buildings, the community practices urban agriculture through rooftop gardens and beekeeping.

Therefore, the rooftop is equipped with various vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, lettuce, young radishes, and garlic, as well as beehives to create a green village.

Ddaengbeol and Younghwa Village People collected 70 bottles of honey last year, and this year harvested 230 bottles of acacia honey.

Park Jung-ae, head of Younghwa-dong, said, "We have delivered fresh vegetables grown in the rooftop community garden to senior welfare centers and welfare facilities through love side dish-sharing events, and we are supporting underprivileged neighbors and senior centers through beekeeping."
