The ongoing conflict in Gaza for over two years has severely impacted honey production, nearly halting it. Beekeepers are striving to protect both their livelihoods and bees by establishing new hives amidst the rubble of thousands of destroyed hives in the region.

According to beekeeper Ibrahim el-Dabba, 49, the war has devastated not only homes and farmland but also honey production. He notes, "Bees need trees, but we are now raising them among the debris," highlighting the challenges faced by local beekeepers as they attempt to resume production in the aftermath of destruction.
