Nogak’s Rooftop Honeybees

Written byLee Hye-ran
40 pages
October.28.2017
ISBN: 9788936446970
₩ 12,000

 

An ordinary office worker living in a city, Nogak learns that agriculture has been negatively affected by a decrease in the number of honeybees. He realizes that, no matter how diligently people cultivate kitchen gardens on weekend farms, plants will not bear fruit well if honeybees disappear and that it will be difficult for humans to live if and when produce is gone. This is a non-fiction picture book recounting how, after pondering on the issue, Nogak quit his company and became an urban beekeeper teaching many people to raise bees in cities. As such, the volume will prompt young readers to realize how much meaningful change the modest choices of ordinary people can bring to society and give them the strength and courage to challenge, dream, and imagine without reservation. As beautiful scenes ranging from the urban forest of jam-packed high-rises to an apiary in the mountain thick with peach blossoms to the majestic sight of thousands of honeybees coming out of honeycombs and swarming vividly unfold, information that will whet youngsters’ curiosity such as the characteristics of honeybees and methods for raising these insects, too, is amply provided, thus adding to the joy of reading. Impressive is the protagonist’s efforts to resolve our problems today on his own without shifting them to future generations.
