The honey-producing and beekeeping villages in Gharbia have become prominent industrial centers for honey production. The village of Shebshir El-Hissa and its neighboring villages in the Tanta and Santah districts control 60% of Egypt's honey production, contributing to the export of 3,400 tons of honey and 1.3 million bee colonies annually, valued at 300 million USD.

Beehives in Shebshir El-Hissa and surrounding villages are widespread across agricultural lands and residential areas. Most residents have inherited this profession through generations, with participation from youth, women, and men, resulting in zero unemployment in the village.
