President Herzog meets with beekeepers ahead of Rosh Hashanah
The president wished the apiarists wished them and all of Israel, a happier, better, and quieter year.
It has long been a tradition for beekeepers to bring apples and honey to the President of the State a few days before Rosh Hashanah. On Sunday, a large group of beekeepers came, bearing gifts of apples, jars, and individual small pots of honey, honey cakes, honey cupcakes, candies shaped like comic bees, and glittering decorative items in the shape of pomegranates and apples.As always, the beekeepers were dressed in the protective white overalls they wear when in the company of bees, and the many very young children that they brought along, were dressed likewise.
Some of the beekeepers are already second and third-generation apiarists, and the many tiny children they brought with them may one day be fourth-generation apiarists, but they were too young to be able to foretell whether they will be the honey (dvash) or the sting (haoketz) on society.'We love our profession'
Because the event was larger and somewhat more formal than in previous years, it was held in the main hall of the President’s Residence, where a table was laid to overflowing with Rosh Hashanah delicacies.
