Sweet dreams are made of bees in Uzbekistan

Zarnigor Yakubova has been surrounded by bees for most of her life. Growing up in a small village in Boʻstonliq district, in the mountainous region of Uzbekistan, she helped her father with the family’s beekeeping work. What began as a family routine became a skill she quietly carried with her into adulthood.

A passionate learner with strong language skills and plans to become a teacher, Zarnigor had always believed working in education would shape her future.
