Lebanon alone is estimated to host 800\u2013900 species, many of which remain undocumented. This makes Lebanon one of the most species-dense regions globally for wild bees in the Mediterranean Basin, and the reason this journey began with important research there, locally in Lebanon. <\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p>The first step was to really see, recognize, and document them, so they can become part of global-level conservation.<\/p>    <p><\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CAaQwVPnUMS\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>   <p><\/p>    <p>This commitment led Beesline to Dr. Mira Boustani, an entomologist and the only wild bee expert in the region.

Our wild fauna and flora are precious natural resources.

Their belief is that children who understand bees will grow into adults who protect them. To date, over 3,000 students have attended these sessions.<\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p><strong>&#8211; The Red Data Book of Bees of Lebanon<\/strong>, led by Dr. Mira Boustani and funded by Beesline, is Lebanon\u2019s first nationwide wild bee monitoring and assessment program. This long-term scientific initiative follows the internationally recognized IUCN Red List approach, leading to the first comprehensive work of its kind in the region. Ultimately, it will help enable concrete conservation measures for wild bee species in Lebanon.<\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p>The results already speak for themselves, with 150 trained participants, 547 hours spent in the field and lab, and 1,734 insect specimens collected. This work also led to identifying new species for Lebanon. This includes <em>Hylaeus rubicola<\/em> found by Beesline\u2019s in-house Biodiversity Specialist Roaa Kurdi, DVM, in Choueifat, <em>Andrena ferox,<\/em> found in Akkar, and <em>Lithurgus tibialis,<\/em> found in Qlaaia.<\/p>    <p><\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-purpose-beyond-formulas\"><strong>Purpose beyond formulas<\/strong><\/h3>    <p>When Beesline was founded over 30 years ago, they worked with the 1000s of year-old history and expertise in apitherapy.
