Shehjar Fed Honey Producer Company Limited

In the village of Tahab, we spend a lot of our time looking after the bees. Shehjar Fed Honey Producer Company Limited is based right here, and Mst Sumee is the one who helps keep us all on the same page. Working with honey is different from regular farming because you are always at the mercy of what the bees decide to do. We have hives scattered around the Tahab block and we spend our days driving or walking between them. It is a lot of manual labor, carrying the boxes and making sure the smoke is just right so we don't get hurt. Sometimes the season is short and we don't get much, and other times we are working until late at night to get everything processed. We aren't some big corporate honey brand. We are just people from the village who know how to handle the hives. We don't use any big machines or chemicals to speed things up. It just takes as long as it takes. The air in Tahab smells like wildflowers in the peak of the season, and that is when we are the busiest. We just want to make sure the work we do is honest and that we can keep the business going for another year. It is a quiet life and it suits us just fine. We don't need much more than a good season and some clear skies to be happy.
