The Hijrah
Bees and Refugees:
Bees & Refugees was founded in 2020 by Ali Alzein, to support newly settled refugees in London. We aim to provide technical and logistical support for refugees and others by supplying a starter beekeeping kit including a hive, as well as a space for their hives which are also helping the UK’s native black bee grow and flourish after near extinction.
Ali, originally from Syria, arrived in the UK as a refugee in 2014. Ali would regularly return to refugee camps to volunteer.
Inspired by his grandfather, a farmer who kept bees in Syria, Ali began keeping bees in London to help with his own mental health, having witnessed first-hand the horrors of war and refugee camps. After finding this extremely beneficial for his mental health, he decided to use beekeeping to support others who faced similar experiences.

Who or what is a refugee?
According to the UNHCR
Refugees are people who have fled war, violence, conflict or persecution and have crossed an international border to find safety in another country. They often have had to flee with little more than the clothes on their back, leaving behind homes, possessions, jobs and loved ones.
People who have fled their homes but are still within their own borders are called Internally Displaced Persons or IDPs.
