Seobu Fire Station "Beware of Bee Stings During Chuseok Holiday"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Seobu Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City (Chief Yang Young-gyu) urged caution against bee sting accidents on the 13th, anticipating an increase in mountain activities such as grass cutting and ancestral grave visits during the Chuseok holiday.

According to the Fire Agency, an average of 5,663 bee sting accidents occurred over the past three years, with 1,921 cases (33.9%) concentrated within 30 days before Chuseok.

Accordingly, the Seobu Fire Station plans to conduct pre-inspections of beehive removal equipment and emergency treatment supplies for bee sting patients by the 22nd, maintaining them in a ready-to-use state, while also carrying out patrols and campaigns at major hiking trails, ancestral grave sites, and grass-cutting locations.

A fire station official explained, "Bees show aggression toward dark-colored clothing, so it is necessary to wear bright-colored clothes. People should also be aware of bee sting prevention methods such as not applying perfumes, cosmetics, or sprays that may provoke bees."
