Samouni Bee Project

DET IRONSIDE · May 16, 2011

This is such a GREAT project I have to share as the convoy is setting off on July the 2nd, Please help us out and donate towards materials for building 10 beehives for the samounis. We have a family lined up in Gaza ready to train them in Beekeeping. Just to clarify this money is going to buy more than just the 10 hives, we need extra honey storage sections, mini hives for starting new swarms, bee suits, tools and we hope to be able give some hives and parts to the family who are helping the Samounis. Please share this around and help us help the samounis help themselves:

Here at the Samouni project we are looking for sustainable, traditional projects to help people help themselves and not rely on handouts. In our newest project we aim to provide the Samouni clan with several beehives and local beekeeping training with a view to export the produce they make from the hives. This will not only help provide work and income for the Samouni project but it will also help pollination of crops in Gaza.

Beekeeping is a Palestinian tradition nearly seven millennia old - the oldest archaeological remnants shows mud beekeeping in the Canaanite era in the Babb El Wad area, now West Jerusalem. Honey is a highly regarded food source with recognized medical properties, the bee even has it's own 'Sura' in the Koran where the healing properties of honey are talked about.

We are looking to bring in the materials to make 10 hives for the Samounis on our 'Samouni Project Convoy' leaving the UK on July 2nd and we are calling in the help of the Zaqzuq family, who have been keeping bees for many years in Gaza.

In exchange for training the Samounis in how to keep bees We also are looking to provide the Zaqzuq family with materials to rebuild their hives that were damaged in Israeli attacks. (See Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM1nj8Wc4AA). The materials will be purchased in the UK, cut and made to measure for assembly in Gaza at the Samouni project.

To clarify, the $1500 is for materials for 10 hives for the samounis including multiple 'supers' (honey storage units) 'Nuc' hives (for new swarms), hive tools and bee suits. Any additional materials will go towards making up to 20 hives for the Zaqzuq family'
