Climate Cuts Honey Output
Disrupted flowering seasons and declining forage due to heat waves, cold snaps, droughts and flash floods have reduced honey production in Jordan. The average yield per hive fell from 15–20 kilograms before 2019 to just 4–5 kilograms in 2025, while total production did not exceed 400 tonnes. With improved rainfall, the average yield per hive rose this season to around 10–15 kilograms, and total production to nearly 1,000 tonnes—but that remains below annual demand of 2,500 tonnes. Beekeepers also face rising costs for feed, treatment and transporting hives, while the sector is working to establish new nectar-rich forage areas and plant trees that provide food for bees.
