Yemen's ancient Sidr tree, which can live up to 400 years, holds deep cultural significance — from children gathering its sweet berries to beekeepers producing some of the world's most prized honey. Traditional beekeepers such as Ismail Mufadhal relocate their hives seasonally, following the Sidr blossom cycle across Yemen's mountains and plains. The tree also draws those seeking alternative remedies, with some visiting bee farms for apitherapy to treat ailments such as joint pain. Al Jazeera's Yousef Mawry reports from Sanaa, Yemen.
