The apian products presented by the Naegumgang Paekho Speciality Manufactory were highly appreciated at the national apian products show and beekeeping technique workshop-2024 held in November.

The show drew apicultural associations and apian products processing units from across the country and they presented scores of kinds of apian products including wild honey, acacia honey, bee milk and propolis. Especially, those from the manufactory were the eye-catcher of experts and visitors for their unique tastes, fragrances and colours.

Now that the production of natural health foods is emerging as a new industry on a global scale, the demand for apian products is on a steady rise.

The manufactory produces the products at a bee yard in the natural forests of Mt Kumgang, one of the celebrated mountains of Korea.

The mountain is the home of different kinds of plants good for the growth of bees.

“A perfectly-clean ecological environment is vital to the production of high-quality apian products. We enormously benefit from the natural forests in the mountain,” said Pak Song Chol, director of the manufactory.

With quite a long history of apian products manufacture, it steadily improves beekeeping techniques based on the past experience and advanced technologies, while enhancing the technical knowledge and skills of the employees.

It has laid a solid production foundation which effectively ensures the freshness and hygienic safety of honey through pasteurization and vacuum filtration right after collecting it.

Its apian products were also appreciated at international expos in the past.

“Our goal is to make our products world-famous ones,” said Pak Song Chol.
