Gaza's bees work to revive life
The focus of the article is on the attempt of the beekeeping sector in Gaza to recover from the significant destruction caused by Israeli wars since October 2023. Approximately 30,000 hives, which previously supplied the market with 380 to 400 tons of honey annually before the conflict, were damaged. The sector has suffered losses valued at around $39 million and has lost about 10,000 job opportunities. Currently, beekeepers are working to rebuild their hives, despite shortages of equipment and essential materials such as beeswax and medications. Access to traditional grazing areas remains difficult due to ongoing Israeli restrictions, prompting some to move their hives to rooftops of damaged buildings as an alternative solution. Hope persists as the bees adapt to the new environment, and beekeepers are optimistic that their efforts will revive the sector after the extensive destruction of their bees and apiaries caused by the war.
