My name is Ahmad Mohammed, and I am a beekeeper from Kobanê. At over fifty years old, beekeeping has been a lifelong passion for me. I once owned hundreds of beehives and produced pure, natural honey. However, the war and the complex situation in Syria have had a devastating impact on my work and livelihood. Additionally, the use of chemicals in agriculture has led to widespread bee deaths.

The loss of bees is not just an economic issue—it also threatens our traditions, culture, food, and medicine. I urge everyone to value and support beekeeping, as it is a vital resource for both humanity and the planet.
