Yemen Honey Production Continues Despite War

Published August 3rd, 2022 - 10:31 GMT

Yemen, which used to be one of the world's most impoverished countries in terms of honey production, has been gripped by a deadly conflict since 2014 or what is called the Yemeni war.

According to one of the beekeepers in Yemen Mohammed Saif, before the Yemeni war, Saif revealed he learned honey production from his father adding that earlier his family managed 300 hives, now only 80 are left, AFP reported.

The UN added honey plays a "vital role" in Yemen's economy, with 100,000 households dependent on it for their livelihoods.
