Dvash Erez Apiary operates at Kibbutz Erez, a farming community located a few kilometers from the Gaza border. Established in 1950, the apiary supports the kibbutz through honey production and pollination of nearby crops. Dor Zohar manages the hives together with veteran beekeeper Uri Shtrasberg, overseeing daily care, seasonal hive placement, and colony health under demanding conditions.

After October 7, access to the kibbutz was restricted and agricultural activity paused. When entry was restored, the apiary resumed work and returned the hives to regular management. Beekeeping continues as part of the kibbutz’s agricultural routine, keeping food production active and fields in use.
