Dumat Al-Jandal, 30 Rajab 1447 AH (19 January 2026)

The sixth Al-Jouf Honey Festival, organised by the Beekeepers' Cooperative Society in Dumat Al-Jandal Governorate, concluded today after five days of economic and awareness activity, with a strong turnout of visitors and bee product enthusiasts from inside and outside the region.

Muaidi bin Saud Al-Rayes, executive director of the society, said the festival recorded varied sales of honey and processed products, with the sixth edition seeing high demand for pure honey as well as other bee products such as beeswax, royal jelly and pollen, reinforcing the festival's standing as the main marketing platform for the region's honey producers.

He noted the diversity of beekeepers from across the Kingdom whose expertise and products enriched the festival, alongside productive families offering honey-based processed goods, drinks and dishes, which added an integrated economic and social dimension to the event.

During the festival the society concluded deals to supply hive equipment, supporting beekeepers in developing their apiaries and raising production efficiency. Al-Rayes thanked all participating and supporting bodies and everyone who contributed to the success of the national carnival.

The society looks forward to developing future editions in ways that serve the beekeeping profession, support the local economy and align with Vision 2030's goals of developing productive sectors and promoting national products.
