Beekeeper from Israel

[Beekeeper-il]

Shalom everyone,
I am the Israeli beekeeping and hive products forum manager. I am new here and always looking to learn from beekeepers around the world.
If any of you would like any information about beekeeping in Israel I will be happy to assist as well as post (translated to Hebrew) posts on your behalf on our Israeli forum
Looking forward to a sweet experience

Welcome, beekeeper from the land of milk and honey! Any chance your name is Devora?

Welcome.I would also be interested in some of your Israeli beekeeping experiences.I understand that it is harder to get permitted there.

Harder . . . it's practically impossible for a new beekeeper. Israel is very small and generally speaking a desert so the number of nectar flowers is "not endless" this is why the licenses are highly regulated. Up to 5 hives you do not need a license but as a professional if you want to grow in size or if you want to start a new business it is almost impossible today

Not exactly but, I leave in the Galilee in Shadmot Devora which means the fields of Devora just at the foot of Mt. Tabor

Hey Barry, I thought foreign languages were relegated to private messages. I remember you scolding me when I replied In Slovenian to a post from a Slovenian beekeeper.

[Barry]

No, just Slovenian is not allowed.
In this forum I'm not too strict, but in all the other forums, English is required.

Ziba and Beekeeper Il -Kol HaKavod!

Translation; All right!

I do keep bees in the USA -New Mexico and in old Mexico where me and my wife run some orphanages and and old's folks homes as volunteers. My grandfather was a mechanical engineer and beekeeper that survived the holocaust, he moved to Mexico where he married my grandmother; I still have some of his tools.. I am a civil engineer that has an addiction to bees, I do love my job, my bees and the orphanage stuff. As we were growing up, we grew up listening to my grandfather's multilingual abilities, he would not talk to us in a single language, so we would all understand as many languages as possible. I only know 3 languages; a little bit of 2 more -he mastered 8.

I still can see him making beeswax candles and goodies for the Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur celebrations.

Welcome Beekeeper-il, I like the play on words on your website: 'the land of silk and honey'!

Considering the restrictions on hive numbers in Israel, how many hives do you have on your farm?

[HITESH PATEL]

Is there job vacancies in bee keeping in israel? I am interested to work as bee keeper in israel, i took training but not work experience.

One of my dreams is to travel the world and work with beekeepers in as many countries as I can. Maybe someday I will have an opportunity to work with a beekeeper from Nepal.
