However, the beekeeping profession now faces difficulties, including the summer's high temperatures, the spread of diseases, and the drought that hits the country due to the climate crisis. The farmers are struggling to save their hives because there is not enough water and therefore not enough flowering plants to keep the bees satisfied, according to Ali Lafta, 50, a farmer in Salahudin province. Despite difficulties, Lafta succeeded in producing big amounts of honey, and he is proud of the quality of his honey, saying "One teaspoon of honey every day guarantees a healthy life."
