Among other things, the bee is responsible for the pollination of 80% of the scope of agricultural crops, this alongside learning the processes of the past versus the future in the honey and beekeeping industry, from the beginning of the history of settlement in the Jezreel Valley, to the appearance of modern techniques and technologies for beekeeping, some of which were developed by the beekeepers who worked in the fields of the valley and were an important pillar in agricultural innovation.
The Honey Pavilion was designed in accordance with contemporary museum curatorial concepts, new display facilities were built, up-to-date graphic materials were printed, and a supplementary training system was built for the visiting public. In The Valley Museum are 100-year-old beehives, next to various honey extraction machines, beekeeper's work tools, beekeeper's overalls, and innovative elements related to the work of beekeepers from then until today.
The original honey pavilion was established in the mid-1990s, as part of the museum that tells the story of the pioneers of the second and third aliyah.
