The Rural Development Administration (RDA), led by Director Lee Seung-don, urged beekeepers on the 15th to prepare thoroughly for wintering. According to the headquarters, a joint study with Professor Jeong Cheol-ui's team from the National Kyungpook University analyzed physiological changes in worker bees during autumn and found that the transition to winter bees occurs between mid to late October. Winter bees accumulate nutrients in their bodies to survive for several months and maintain the winter cluster. They also play a role in strengthening the colony in spring, making it crucial to secure healthy winter bees before wintering.
