Hail: Beekeeping is considered one of the promising agricultural activities in the Kingdom due to its important role in supporting food security and enhancing environmental diversity, in addition to providing high-value products such as honey, wax, and royal jelly. Several regions across the Kingdom are distinguished in this field, contributing to the production of high-quality honey and enhancing its presence in markets.

According to Saudi Press Agency, beekeeper Noura Al-Shawi from Hail emerged after transforming her passion for beekeeping into a productive project that supports the local honey market and benefits from the climatic seasons and abundant plant diversity in the pastures of the Hail Region, particularly seasonal herbs and talh, sidr, and tamarisk trees, among other plants.

Over the past 10 years, Al-Shawi began her journey with a single beehive, driven by curiosity and a love of learning, before gradually expanding to hundreds of productive hives, relying on seasonal movement between pastures according to flowering periods to ensure honey quality and diversity of characteristics.

Her role was not limited to producing natural honey alone, but also included training and qualifying women interested in beekeeping and in producing food and cosmetic products based on honey and beeswax. She became one of the Saudi female trainers in this field. She established the Beekeeping Cooperative Association in Hail, which contributed to spreading awareness of the importance of bees and their environmental and economic role, in a step aimed at supporting female beekeepers and developing the honey industry and its processed products according to professional standards that enhance food security, diversify its options, and support women's entrepreneurship.
