*Israel looks to West Bank beekeepers to meet honey demands*

Two weeks ago, Erez Ben Sa'adon, a vintner, farmer and novice beekeeper,
received a frantic phone call from the West Bank settlement of Eli. A swarm
of bees had left its hive and was approaching one the settlement's day-care
centers. The children were afraid. How, the caller wanted to know, should
they deal with this threat?

Ben Sa'adon advised waiting, leaving the bees alone and not getting near
them. About two hours later, the swarm returned to its hive and the danger
passed.

The hive in Eli is just one of about 200 that have been constructed in West
Bank settlements since January. Now that the harvest season has begun, the
honey will soon be collected and marketed throughout the country.
