Beekeeping in Yemen: A Ray of Light Amidst the War

After six years of war, Yemen has been divided into three parts and is under siege by air, sea, and land. In this conflict, only beekeepers, the alchemists of liquid gold and a distinctive mark of the country, enjoy immunity to traverse the myriad of military checkpoints and fronts, even during bombing times. They do so in search of the best flowers for their bees. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have taken control of the north. Meanwhile, the south is split between the secessionists supported by the United Arab Emirates and the followers of President Abdrabbo Mansur Hadi's government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia.
