Renowned beekeeper Yossi Oud is teaching a biodynamic beekeeping class in Tel Aviv. Biodynamic beekeepers advocate against relocating hives for pollination and traditional methods of beekeeping that involve killing and replacing the queen bee annually. The hope is that the sustainable practices of regenerative farming will lead to a compromise between beekeeping and business. Israel, with approximately 1,300 different species of bees, stands out as a significant area for animals, plants, and bees. Yossi Oud, an Israeli beekeeper and teacher known for his work with biodynamic beekeeping methods, emphasizes the importance of preserving the rich diversity of bee species in Israel. The Syrian bee, once predominant, has become extinct, being replaced by an imported Italian bee. These Italian bees were brought to support the vineyards in the 1930s. Oud also highlights the mystical connection between bees and religion, particularly within Islam, where there is a chapter in the Quran dedicated to bees. The “Bees for Peace” project, initiated by Oud, seeks to bring together diverse communities, including Christians, Muslims, and Jews, to learn the art of beekeeping through training and educational programs. This initiative promotes empowerment among women from traditional households, providing them with an opportunity to generate income by practicing beekeeping on their rooftops or in their gardens. Ultimately, through their involvement with the bees, the goal is to foster unity and cooperation among different cultural and religious groups in the region.
