ABSTRACT

In this study was to present the development strategies for beekeeping industry in Korea. Furthermore, the status of royal jelly production was analyzed intensively. Royal jelly was a smart beekeeping among products with high accessibility. The number of beekeepers was about 20,000 or more, with 21.2 thousand in 2012 and 26.5 thousand in 2018. The number of hive was about 2 million by 2015, exceeded 2 million in 2016, 2018. The economic value of the beekeeping industry is estimated at ₩552.7 billion in 2017. In addition, honey bees have the role of pollination, and are responsible for the public benefit of maintaining the natural ecosystem. There was no official statistics on the production of royal jelly worldwide, however China produces more than 90%. In Korea, royal jelly was the third largest beekeeping product in the beekeeping industry, with ₩28.1 billion. As a way to expand the production of royal jelly, the establishment of a smart farm system must be introduced. The current status of smart farm use includes automation technology for supplying to the food and an electric heating device to increase the internal temperature of the hive in early spring. The direction of the smart farm should be automatic monitoring, pest reduction, and labor reduction technologies. The National Assembly promulgated the Act on Support for the Beekeeping Industry on August 28, 2019, and it is in force from August 28, 2020. Through the application of the smart farm system, it is possible to realize stable revenue source creation and labor reduction for beekeepers.
