Lebanon's Beekeepers Are at Breaking Point

South Lebanon's apiaries — already pressed by pesticides, climate shifts, and the 2019 economic collapse — were destroyed by Israeli bombardment. The angle the reader will not find elsewhere: hives in the south were not incidental damage but part of the agricultural estate targeted during 2024-2025 strikes, which remains untallied in ceasefire accounting. Lead with the beekeepers' economics (hives per family, honey as one of the few remaining hard-currency exports) and name the mechanism: destroying pollinators degrades the 2026 citrus and olive harvests across the Litani basin, long after bombs stop.
