When I went to Tsushima during spring break, I saw wooden boxes everywhere.
I think there were a few variations, but most of them were cylindrical.
They looked like traditional beehives.
It seems that beekeeping on Tsushima continues to use Japanese honeybees, rather than the Western honeybees commonly used in beekeeping.
Islands are interesting because they have endemic species and new discoveries that I'm not aware of.
I had a lot of honey at home, so I didn't buy any there, but it's my usual bad habit to regret later that I should have bought some.
The honey I brought back from overseas last year was ruined because the jar broke, so that might have crossed my mind. Usually, I just buy it without thinking.
Honey feels like we're sharing in nature's bounty, but on the other hand, it can also be said that humans are exploiting it, which makes me ponder what it means to live.
