[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] The National Fire Agency announced on the 12th that it will issue a "Bee Sting Accident Warning" nationwide starting at 9 a.m. on the 13th.
The National Fire Agency introduced the "Bee Sting Accident Warning System" this summer, and this is the first time a bee sting accident warning has been issued.
The agency stated that over the past two weeks, there have been more than 8,000 hive removal dispatches per week and about 300 bee sting accidents per week, prompting the issuance of the warning.
In July of this year, 1,014 bee sting accidents occurred, which is 2.4 times more than in June.
The National Fire Agency forecasts that the bee sting warning may be elevated to an alert level in September.
