An Adventure Between Sky and Earth to Produce Liquid Gold

In the mountains and valleys of Yemen, beekeepers embark on a unique adventure to raise bees and produce the finest and purest honey. These beekeepers live in remote villages and rely on both traditional and modern techniques to care for the bees and ensure the health and quality of the honey.

Beekeepers travel twice a year, in the spring and autumn, to bee colonies, using their extensive expertise to identify the best locations for beekeeping, which are often at high altitudes in the mountains. They monitor the movement and direction of the bees after collecting nectar from Sidr or Samar tree flowers.

The rituals of beekeeping vary from region to region. In Wadi Doan, beekeepers start by identifying suitable flower locations and then tracking the bees' movement. They gently use smoke to calm the bees and ensure they are not harmed during the honeycomb collection. This process relies on innovative techniques and long-standing expertise to produce pure, high-quality honey, making Yemeni honey one of the best in the world.
