KEEPING BEES IN THE KINGDOM OF THE WEST

摘要

I've never been to this part of the world. And I had no idea what it would be like. I thought to myself, "Well, it's July and the supers are on the bees. I would like to help. So yes, sign me up. I'll go to the Kingdom of the West to share informationwith Moroccan beekeepers!"The invitation to travel to the jewel of north Africa originated with a newer beekeeper named Rachid El Khazerri. Though his original roots are Moroccan, 25 years ago he established his American roots in Houston, TX. Mr. El Kharrazi is a trained emergency room nurse. His long hours and intense profession assisting with one crisis after another helping to stabilize and save lives needed a more pacifying counterpoint. He and his wife Nora, who is also an emergency room nurse, decided to buy some agricultural property as a place to develop away from the hustleand bustle of their dramatic medical professions.
