Beekeeping Creates Buzz for Ethiopian Honey Farmers
Four Hundred and thirty-five miles north of Addis Ababa, the route climbs into a harsh, mountainous landscape where ancient rock-hewn churches appear out of nowhere. This area is known as Lallibela.
Some of Ethiopia’s best honey producers can be found in Lallibela where high-altitude bees whip up a prized white honey that can only be made from the flowers which blossom on this region’s most vertiginous peaks. The bees and their keepers are part of an ancient honey-making tradition that dates back to medieval times.
