Al-baha: Al-Baha honey is featured prominently at Al-Baha Principality pavilion within the Ministry of Interior's Security Oasis exhibition at the 10th King Abdulaziz Camel Festival. Renowned for its quality and reputation, it has become a major attraction for visitors.
According to Saudi Press Agency, beekeeping has been integral to Al-Baha's culture since ancient times, evolving into a sustainable economic model. The region produces about 15 types of honey, thanks to its varied terrain: the Sarawat Mountains, the Tihama plains, and the desert.
Al-Baha accounts for approximately 20% of the Kingdom's honey production, positioning it as a leader in quality and output.
The Beekeepers Cooperative Association supports training programs that transition hobbyists into professionals. With over 5,000 beekeepers, many join the association for qualification programs, including a training institute that has educated over 4,000 individuals, and an advanced honey analysis lab. Consequently, beekeeping has emerged as one of the region's fastest-growing sectors.
