On October 7, the Rural Development Administration (RDA) announced the release of a revised edition of the 'Easy-to-Understand Korean Standard Beekeeping Terminology' book in celebration of Hangul Day. Many beekeeping terms in Korea have remained as Japanese-style Sino-Korean words or outdated expressions since modern beekeeping techniques were introduced.

The National Institute of Agricultural Sciences previously published a first edition that refined 16 commonly used terms into pure Korean. The new edition adds 15 more terms related to hive and comb structures, honey bees and swarms, nectar, and bee products, reflecting feedback from field and academic experts. Existing terms were also reviewed to ensure clear meanings.
