Honey bees swarm on a honeycomb at Al Taryyaq farm in Jordan Valley February 8, 2010. Jordan has introduced a modern laboratory to help protect the bee population from infectious diseases after an outbreak in 2008 decimated nearly half of the region's bee hives, Jordan's Bee Research Unit Director Nizar Haddad said.
