Hebron Directorate of Agriculture, represented by the Director of the Beekeeping Department at the Ministry of Agriculture, Engineer Nader Al-Karky, and the Head of the Beekeeping Section at the Directorate, Engineer Amira Mujahed, has begun conducting field visits to apiaries in areas under its jurisdiction.
