BEIRUT, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- On the western slopes of Jabal al-Wastani overlooking Lebanon's southern border, 60-year-old beekeeper Jalal Daher stood before rows of blackened hives.
He lifted the wooden lid of one box. Burned wax crumbled to the ground. The steady hum that had accompanied him for more than 25 years was gone.
