Extreme heat and drought threaten Iraq’s bees and honey production
In southern Iraq, bees once thrived among lush date palms along the Shatt al-Arab.
But today, rising salinity, drought, and extreme heat are wiping out hives and devastating honey production in Basra.
As Iraq struggles with a worsening water crisis, beekeepers warn their centuries-old tradition may not survive.
