Beekeepers in Gaza Face Challenges Rebuilding Colonies After Devastation

In Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip, the war's devastation has left a landscape of rubble, severely impacting residents' lives and livelihoods. Amidst this destruction, local beekeepers have found a glimmer of hope. Niveen Al-Ashqar, a local resident, discovered a small swarm of bees emerging from a crevice in the debris where her home once stood. This led her to find a honeybee colony that survived the bombardment, offering a fragile opportunity for her and other apiarists to return to beekeeping.
