The Kingdom's Aseer region is currently experiencing the bountiful Sidr honey season, with local markets flooded with high-quality honey produced from the nectar of Sidr trees, SPA reported.
The recent heavy rainfall in the region has led to a prolific flowering of Sidr trees, providing ideal conditions for bees to produce abundant and flavorful honey.
Sidr honey, renowned for its numerous health benefits, is particularly prized for its antioxidant properties and ability to strengthen the immune system. The unique taste and aroma of this honey have made it a sought-after commodity, both locally and internationally.
Beekeepers in Tihama Aseer have been busy harvesting the golden nectar, with prices ranging from SAR350 to SAR500 per kilogram. The region's diverse ecosystem, characterized by its fertile valleys and abundant flora, provides an optimal environment for beekeeping.
The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture is actively supporting the development of the beekeeping industry. Initiatives such as the beekeeping and honey production development initiative aim to improve beekeeping practices, protect bee populations, and enhance the quality of honey.
By promoting sustainable beekeeping and preserving the natural habitats of bees, the Kingdom seeks to strengthen its position as a leading producer of high-quality honey and contribute to the global market.
