[01:23]Host: Every week from a district, every week from a village we broadcast.

[01:28]Host: This time we have turned our way to the village of Xelîlaka.

[01:31]Host: This village is connected to the district of Bilbil.

[01:34]Host: Let us enter this village this week, let us get to know the village of Xelîlaka together.

[02:05]Host: Teacher Mihemed, hello to you.

[02:07]Guest: Welcome, you are welcome upon our heads and eyes.

[02:11]Guest: In our village and the village of Xelîlaka, we respect the whole Ronahî TV team and welcome to you.

[02:17]Host: Thank you too. It is our honor to be in the village of Xelîlaka.

[02:22]Host: We wanted to ask the name of the village first, in the beginning.

[02:25]Guest: Well the name of the village... Kurds themselves... are very ancient in this area.

[02:29]Guest: Meaning they say maybe Kurds have been in this place since the time of Prophet Abraham the Friend (Al-Khalil).

[02:35]Guest: And always from Prophet Abraham the Friend, the name Xelîl, Xelîl, Xelîl has been used a lot in naming within the family.

[02:42]Guest: On top of that, for example, our great grandfather before us, his name was Xelîl...

[02:48]Guest: The village was established in his name, meaning the village of Xelîlaka.

[02:51]Host: Did the village have a name at that time?

[02:53]Guest: No, basically the village is Xelîlaka.

[03:00]Host: You mentioned the name, you said our village's name came from a grandfather named Xelîl.

[03:05]Host: And when the Ottomans passed through here, was the village name pronounced like this at that time too?

[03:09]Guest: No, during the Ottomans they named it Xelîlak Uşaxî. The name was changed.

[03:14]Guest: And a while ago when the Baath regime came, on the registry they made the village name "El-Xelîl".

[03:20]Host: So the name has been changed three times.

[03:22]Guest: Yes, the name has been changed.

[03:24]Host: And Xelîlaka remained, its origin is Xelîlaka.

[03:26]Guest: In Kurdish it is known as Xelîlaka.

[03:29]Host: I will ask you another thing. Now, from where to where are the borders of your village?

[03:34]Guest: Well, the borders of our village... let's say from Ziving...

[03:38]Guest: From Ziving of the Eşûnê village... it extends until... the eastern side reaches Qorixûlê.

[03:47]Guest: And from the eastern side... until the plain of Dîkê.

[03:51]Guest: And from the west side, from Qûta and Bîbaka, it is Xelîlaka's property.

[03:56]Guest: Until... the border of Mount Hawar.

[03:59]Guest: Actually our south side is all Mount Hawar... over two-thirds of the village... is Xelîlaka's property.

[04:06]Guest: Among... the family, the tribes, everyone is distributed in a part of the village... in Mount Hawar.

[04:18]Host: Was your village here before or was it somewhere else?

[04:21]Guest: Our village... 200, 220 years before this time... was under Mount Hawar.

[04:28]Guest: They call it Serincokê Çê.

[04:30]Guest: And in Cernê Tavê there were three families. And one family was at Kela Şêrê.

[04:36]Guest: 200, 220 years before this, they gathered together.

[04:40]Guest: They came down to this village soil to live together.

[04:43]Guest: Meaning to protect each other, to support each other, to put their heads together.

[04:48]Host: Is that place far or near from here?

[04:49]Guest: No it is near, approximately... 1000, 1500 meters from the center of the village... it is that far.

[05:01]Host: And when they moved here, was there water here, was there a spring here, what was here that they came?

[05:06]Guest: No, it's not a matter of a spring. At that time... during the Ottomans... there were bandits, there were outsiders...

[05:17]Guest: And the village... all the people who lived in Mount Hawar lived on sheep, cattle, and outdoors.

[05:25]Guest: Meaning to protect each other, to strengthen each other, to hold hands over each other.

[05:30]Guest: They gathered in this place of our current village, meaning it was exactly like being compatriots together.

[05:36]Host: At that time, which families moved here?

[05:38]Guest: Families for example the House of Bekir, House of Heso, House of Ehmed, and House of Kêla.

[05:46]Guest: Four families moved to this place, they raised and built the foundation of the village.

[05:51]Host: Is the tribe all one?

[05:52]Guest: It is the Amka tribe. The whole tribe, meaning Mount Hawar, the village is approximately Amka.

[06:00]Host: After that did no other families move here, only those families?

[06:03]Guest: Families no, maybe over generations maybe in a hundred years...

[06:07]Guest: For example the Keçela tribe also moved to the village and joined the village families.

[06:12]Host: By what name is it known?

[06:14]Guest: By the Keçela tribe. They live there.

[06:16]Host: And is there anyone else?

[06:18]Guest: No that is it, the village family is basically built on this family.

[06:21]Host: How many houses, how many homes are there?

[06:23]Guest: Well, the houses of our village, there are approximately 200 homes. 200, 215 homes exist.

[06:30]Host: Have the people of the village left the village, or are they all in the village? Like the districts, like Afrin...

[06:37]Guest: No, many have left, they went to Afrin, they are in Aleppo, they are in Damascus.

[06:43]Guest: And maybe a part is in Europe too, they went for studying and abroad and went out to Europe.

[06:53]Guest: They are scattered. Many have left the village.

[06:56]Host: Are there many in Afrin?

[06:57]Guest: In Afrin there are many, in Aleppo there are many...

[07:04]Host: Now regarding your village, is there a spring, is there water here?

[07:06]Guest: No, there is no spring water out there.

[07:09]Guest: Our village's reliance and the main thing is all on cisterns.

[07:15]Guest: Meaning if you go all around the village, the stream branches of the village, they made all around the village cisterns in the past.

[07:23]Guest: For a very long time their reliance for watering... for example cattle, the outdoors...

[07:28]Guest: Around the village maybe twenty, thirty cisterns were all dug...

[07:31]Guest: Meaning wherever the villager went in the surroundings, there would be a water place to give water.

[07:36]Host: Is there water in them?

[07:38]Guest: The winter rain water, all the cisterns... they make trenches to them and fill them... and with that water they water their cattle.

[07:46]Host: I know this is a very good thing. Now when you pass through villages, you go from one village to another, again there is a cistern.

[07:53]Host: Meaning for the people, for the sheep, meaning it is good, meaning water...

[07:56]Guest: Now there are forty cisterns with us. All around the village, everything is cisterns.

[08:00]Host: Like your village Xelîlaka, what do they make their living with?

[08:03]Guest: Well our livelihood now is mostly on agriculture. On for example olives, on vineyards.

[08:10]Guest: A part still exists for example on sheep, outside still raising cattle.

[08:15]Guest: And the new generation youth that are reaching age are entering the field of industry.

[08:18]Guest: They opened sewing workshops, montage, opened shoe workshops, blacksmiths exist.

[08:24]Guest: They rest in the work a lot, mechanics and outside... for example life happens in Afrin...

[08:29]Guest: With difficulty they opened outside in Afrin, for example in whatever villages they opened.

[08:33]Host: Interesting, does it exist in the village?

[08:34]Guest: A tailoring workshop exists in the village. A shoe one exists in the village.

[08:38]Guest: For example we have maybe five tailoring workshops in the village. We have one shoe workshop.

[08:44]Guest: For example we have a blacksmithing workshop. These are present in the village.

[08:48]Guest: Otherwise the machines outside and... like industry outside... the machines are with Afrin.

[08:53]Host: Thank you (May your house be built).

[08:54]Guest: Thanks, you are welcome upon our heads and eyes. Welcome to you.

[10:57]Host: Uncle Abdulkarim, where are we heading now?

[11:08]Apê Evdilkerîm: We will go there to visit. We will explain... from the old times.

[11:14]Apê Evdilkerîm: Let us see the place... Sere Sure... and Sheikh Mahmoud is there.

[11:21]Host: Where does the name Sure come from?

[11:23]Apê Evdilkerîm: It was a Sur (fortification), formerly a castle fortification. There were two parts to the Sur.

[11:30]Host: Is this connected to the Hawar Castle?

[11:32]Apê Evdilkerîm: Sere Sure is different, Hawar Castle is different. Hawar Castle is near the village's place.

[11:38]Host: Yes, is this Mount Hawar?

[11:40]Apê Evdilkerîm: This is all Mount Hawar.

[11:42]Host: So we are going onto Mount Hawar?

[11:44]Apê Evdilkerîm: We have reached Mount Hawar. Sere Sure.

[11:49]Host: How many kilometers have we walked from Hevil village?

[11:53]Guest 2: A kilo and a half.

[11:54]Guest 2: A kilo and a half on foot.

[11:58]Host: You mentioned the village used to be in this place, we were curious so we passed by.

[12:02]Host: So we passed by, is this the place of the village you mentioned?

[12:05]Guest 2: Yes, here were the caves of the village, and these were their cisterns.

[12:10]Guest 2: They got sick (colic/pain), they moved from here and went to the village site. There was no water here.

[12:15]Host: How many years have passed since then?

[12:16]Guest 2: Three hundred years.

[12:17]Host: 300 years since then. And how many of their houses were here?

[12:20]Guest 2: Some families were here.

[12:22]Host: Were they caves?

[12:23]Guest 2: No, they made caves and foundations, fireplaces and wooden ruins... they had their houses.

[12:30]Host: Where exactly, are these ruins now?

[12:32]Guest 2: This is a ruin... here... up to that stone there, here were also their ruins.

[12:36]Guest 2: Here they were on top of each other. But the weather took the houses, they collapsed on each other.

[12:40]Host: So were they all stone?

[12:42]Guest 2: The reason they built on top of each other, was because there used to be looting (raids).

[12:45]Guest 2: They all built their houses facing each other, backing each other, their doors, they gave a handle/corner.

[12:51]Guest 2: For example if a raid came, neighbors of the village would warn them that a raid is coming, and they would all rise.

[12:56]Guest 2: They protected each other, the walls were one.

[13:00]Host: Uncle Hecî we came to you. Speak. Let's all walk. Come on.

[13:06]Host: What historical places are here? Meaning old places.

[13:10]Apê Evdilkerîm: Old places, there is a shrine here, a martyr, Sheikh Mahmoud.

[13:15]Apê Evdilkerîm: And the other one to the east, is the Zirzemi (Dungeon/Basement).

[13:18]Host: What is that?

[13:19]Apê Evdilkerîm: Zirzemi... it's like an earthquake... like a place... a place... they imprisoned people underground. What they did, I don't know.

[13:29]Host: In which era was that created?

[13:31]Apê Evdilkerîm: That is from a long time ago. Very long ago. Ancient.

[13:35]Host: So what is it like? Like caves, or what?

[13:38]Apê Evdilkerîm: No no. The Zirzemi is dug deep, it is deep. Stone, they hollowed it out and deepened it.

[13:45]Host: Is it like wells?

[13:46]Apê Evdilkerîm: It is like wells. But it is wide. Its bottom is wide. Its mouth is narrow.

[13:52]Host: How deep is it?

[13:53]Apê Evdilkerîm: Ten, twelve kilometers [meters] deep.

[13:56]Apê Evdilkerîm: On the Zirzemi, in the Zirzemi, it is twelve kilometers [meters] deep, they hollowed the stone, white stone.

[14:02]Apê Evdilkerîm: And the bottom is a bit wide. The mouth is narrow.

[14:05]Host: Let's go, we will see it.

[14:06]Apê Evdilkerîm: We will go to the top. The western one. Stairs go down inside.

[14:09]Host: How many stairs are there?

[14:10]Apê Evdilkerîm: By God, I haven't counted them, I don't know.

[14:13]Guest 2: Has any young man gone there, has anyone seen it?

[14:15]Guest 2: No, I will tell you. About the Zirzemi... Among our people they call it Zirzemi.

[14:19]Guest 2: It is not actually a Zirzemi. Actually, they hollowed that place, dug it out of the rock...

[14:24]Guest 2: Maybe they dug ten meters down, actually it's a spring. It's water. It's a cistern.

[14:30]Guest 2: The peak of the village, there is one on the west, and one above... they are close, about ten meters apart.

[14:37]Guest 2: The one on the west, stairs go down, approximately fifteen stairs go down.

[14:42]Guest 2: Going down... that place... before, about twenty years ago I went inside, they have blocked it.

[14:48]Guest 2: They filled it with soil and stones. As the men said, those before us...

[14:52]Guest 2: They say this was a spring. They extracted water from this place.

[14:55]Guest 2: Because there were many families there, there are old ruins, old traces.

[15:00]Host: So where did they bring it from? For example the spring...

[15:03]Guest 2: No, there is water inside.

[15:04]Host: So there is water inside.

[15:05]Guest 2: Go in summer... drops from above... we went down fifteen, twenty years ago, drops come.

[15:11]Guest 2: They come down. Meaning bluish, mineral color.

[15:15]Guest 2: It goes down inside.

[15:17]Host: So does it go down a little or a lot?

[15:19]Guest 2: It goes down a little. But over time they blocked it all, filled it with stone and soil... now it is blocked.

[15:25]Host: How did they go down? Are there stairs?

[15:27]Guest 2: There are stairs. The one above, the eastern one, has no stairs. It has no door. They lowered people with ropes.

[15:35]Guest 2: The western one has stairs. It is wide, it is big.

[15:38]Guest 2: One goes down... like this path, there are holes... put your foot in and go down.

[15:43]Guest 2: It is a spring. As the men said, they say it was spring water. They extracted water.

[15:48]Host: So the place... you mention here is the last place, here?

[15:51]Guest 2: Formerly the village was here. Right here.

[15:53]Host: Right here.

[15:54]Guest 2: It is all the last place.

[15:55]Host: Is this a cave here?

[15:56]Guest 2: That is a cave, they used to put sheep in it. They themselves had their homes here.

[16:00]Guest 2: Our family lived here. Our grandfathers were here.

[16:04]Host: Now please, come here. Come. So...

[16:07]Guest 2: They kept sheep here. And they themselves, to our east, built their houses on top.

[16:12]Guest 2: There are three cisterns. Also... for example... they drank from them, and watered their cattle.

[16:17]Guest 2: So that's how it is, for example as they told us from the men before us.

[16:23]Host: You come too, our sweet one, you too... what do you know about here, what is here?

[16:28]Guest 3: Uh, as the friend says, these places are like that.

[16:31]Host: Did his family live here? Who were they?

[16:33]Guest 3: They were the family of Suleiman Faqe. And the family of Ahmed Haske. Two families were here.

[16:39]Host: The village itself is four families, right?

[16:41]Guest 3: Yes, one family was below... ours was here below this place, down.

[16:46]Guest 3: And the family of Haske Kele was above, let's say, the split of that small ridge was theirs.

[16:51]Host: So in total how many caves do you have?

[16:53]Guest 3: Caves? In the whole village? There are six or seven caves. Six.

[16:58]Host: And mentioning cisterns, are there many cisterns? Water cisterns?

[17:01]Guest 3: Yes, cisterns, there are around forty cisterns. Around the village.

[17:05]Guest 3: Because there is no water here, rain water enters... when rain fell hard, cisterns are holes, they drank water from them.

[17:11]Host: May your home be prosperous. May God not give you lack.

[17:59]Host (Voiceover): To the north of the village, the hamlet of Sip Siyar, Reshe Evdike and the villages of Qota and Bibarkana.

[18:27]Host (Voiceover): It is said to be one of the historical and ancient places. It remains from the Hurrian era.

[18:35]Host (Voiceover): It is worth mentioning that relatives of these families have lived in the city of Homs for two hundred years and still do.

[18:44]Host (Voiceover): But their connection with the village families has not been cut.

[19:16]Host: Yes dear viewers, today we are in the village of Xelilanka.

[19:20]Host: We wanted to get to know some of the characteristics of this village.

[20:00]Interviewer: In the past, when people got sick back then...

[20:03]Woman: Yes.

[20:04]Interviewer: Were there doctors? Did they say there were doctors?

[20:05]Woman: No, there were no doctors in our village. Someone used to walk around for charity, they called him...

[20:09]Woman: I don't know where he was from, they called him Doctor Abu Ali.

[20:11]Woman: Well, for wind fever, aches and pains, severe coughs...

[20:14]Woman: That was him. There were no doctors.

[20:16]Interviewer: Back then, some ninety-five or six years ago, in that time...

[20:19]Interviewer: What did you do when a person got sick?

[20:22]Woman: What did we do, well just that... There was Hasan Efendi in Afrin.

[20:25]Woman: We went to him. He gave some medicine. That was the only doctor in Afrin.

[20:30]Interviewer: And in the past, when a child got sick, you put your faith in this stone...

[20:35]Interviewer: Did you come to this stone?

[20:37]Woman: We came to this stone. When they caught the cough, we came to it...

[20:41]Woman: And we wouldn't look back. We would pass through early in the morning before sunrise.

[20:45]Woman: And then we would... leave and go, saying don't look back - we wouldn't look back at all...

[20:49]Woman: Until we reached home.

[20:53]Woman: The faith was in God.

[20:55]Interviewer: And when a child was sick, caught the cough, you brought them to it?

[21:45]Woman: You must come to it three times.

[21:47]Interviewer: Did you put your children [through it]?

[22:15]Woman: Whatever... One must come to it for three Wednesdays.

[22:18]Interviewer: Come three Wednesdays, do the children get cured?

[22:21]Woman: Yes, by the will of God. I mean the will... sometimes they take doctors' medicine and they give medicine, but it doesn't cure.

[22:27]Woman: No matter how much medicine they give, it doesn't cure. So they do this, bring them... put their faith in God, and it cures.

[22:33]Interviewer: With belief and faith...

[22:34]Woman: With belief and faith, it cures.

[22:36]Interviewer: Because Wednesday is a holy day for Kurds?

[22:38]Woman: Yes, that's it.

[22:40]Interviewer: Just now, ahead of us, they passed a child through. You saw how they passed him, what did you say?

[22:45]Woman: One must recite for him and pass him through... for God's sake... recite the Fatiha.

[22:50]Interviewer: Did they give money to it too?

[22:51]Woman: They gave raisins, gave figs, gave money, well, things like that.

[22:55]Woman: If... it all went [well].

[24:15]Woman: Sometimes. No matter how much medicine we give him...

[24:18]Woman: We convince ourselves with it, then... it happens. It becomes lighter on the child.

[24:33]Interviewer: Hamid's mother, back then there was medicine in the village, medicine was made in the village.

[24:38]Interviewer: What did you make? Didn't you make medicine by hand?

[24:40]Younger Woman: By God, we didn't make medicine. We...

[24:43]Younger Woman: They came to us saying our child's hand, [or] back is twisted/sprained.

[24:46]Interviewer: Did you practice the profession of bone-setting?

[24:48]Younger Woman: Yes, the marrow of soap oil, eating soap (laurel soap), I would rub it...

[24:52]Younger Woman: I would boil a cloth in water, and pull it [the limb]...

[24:55]Younger Woman: And say... I would put the child's twisted leg on my ankle.

[24:58]Younger Woman: Even before the adults, women would come...

[25:01]Interviewer: How many years have you been a bone-setter?

[25:03]Younger Woman: Well, not for long, like eighteen years.

[25:06]Interviewer: Who did you learn from?

[25:07]Younger Woman: There was an old man in this village, by God I learned from him.

[25:11]Interviewer: Is the work difficult... or is it easy for you?

[25:14]Younger Woman: Well, my family member was lame, walking, the leg was gone [bad].

[25:17]Younger Woman: The old man came and did it, he couldn't come to our house, out of necessity/trouble I learned.

[25:22]Younger Woman: Afterwards, everyone came to me.

[25:23]Interviewer: So you learned on your old man [husband/father-in-law] first?

[25:25]Younger Woman: Yes...

[25:27]Younger Woman: Like that, hold it like that, so our leg doesn't break.

[25:30]Younger Woman: One hand, if a child's [limb] pops out or twists, well, we bring them, put them in water.

[25:34]Younger Woman: Well, we bring them, put them, do that.

[25:36]Interviewer: Okay.

[25:36]Interviewer: Thank you (May your house be prosperous).

[25:37]Younger Woman: You're welcome (May your hour be happy).

[25:37]Interviewer: You're welcome.

[26:13]Reporter: And a few families raise honeybees.

[26:16]Reporter: There are five tailor shops, a shoe workshop, a cinder block workshop, and a blacksmith workshop in the village.

[26:23]Reporter: Where more than a hundred people work.

[26:26]Reporter: Also, there are ten various shops in the village.

[27:31]Interviewer: Hello.

[27:32]Beekeeper: Hello.

[27:33]Interviewer: May your work be blessed.

[27:34]Beekeeper: Hello. You're welcome.

[27:36]Interviewer: Hello.

[27:37]Interviewer: Can we get to know you?

[27:38]Beekeeper: My name is Mohammed Ali.

[27:39]Interviewer: You're welcome.

[27:40]Beekeeper: Thank you (May yours be happy).

[27:41]Interviewer: What are you doing now?

[27:42]Beekeeper: Well, I am milking [harvesting] the bees.

[27:44]Beekeeper: We are going to extract honey, it is honey time now.

[27:46]Interviewer: Now is honey time, it means it's autumn?

[27:48]Beekeeper: It's autumn. A rain has fallen, we are immediately taking them out of the hive.

[27:51]Interviewer: Rain, actually today good rain fell.

[27:53]Beekeeper: Yes, today good rain fell too. We will, well, extract our honey from the hive.

[27:56]Interviewer: Now... you harvest in autumn and often harvest in spring too, right?

[28:00]Beekeeper: We harvest in spring and harvest in autumn. We start in the tenth month, two times.

[28:04]Interviewer: How many hives do you have?

[28:06]Beekeeper: About thirty-five. They were actually one hundred and eighteen, this year they all died.

[28:10]Interviewer: Why?

[28:11]Beekeeper: Meaning there is no forage/pasture. And this year... it was barren approximately.

[28:15]Beekeeper: And we didn't feed them. If we had fed them, they wouldn't have died.

[28:17]Beekeeper: There was no possibility/means for us to feed them... well, they all died.

[28:21]Interviewer: So it requires service/care?

[28:23]Beekeeper: It requires care. You have to give them sugar. If you give them sugar, their honey is considered [bad/ruined]...

[28:28]Beekeeper: We don't give it to them, the bees fall into disaster [die].

[28:31]Interviewer: Now I know, because... you set your places, where the bees are. You move your bees around.

[28:36]Interviewer: You take them to Sûrke, take them to other places... Protection...

[28:38]Beekeeper: Yes, there was nothing in the surrounding areas this year.

[28:40]Beekeeper: In Sûrke there was no forage this year, the 'kûk' [plant] had come out.

[28:43]Beekeeper: In Xweşêlê the 'kûk' came out too, we worked for fifteen days, we didn't take them.

[28:47]Beekeeper: Last year we took them, we made a total loss on it.

[28:50]Beekeeper: Last year I prepared eighty hives, they were all empty.

[28:53]Beekeeper: The big ones this year died off, didn't remain.

[28:56]Interviewer: So year by year it is getting lost [decreasing].

[28:58]Beekeeper: We move [them] year by year. We take them to Sûrke, and from Sûrke take them to Dêrsiwan, take them to Olce...

[29:03]Beekeeper: We take them to Xweşêlê. And this year I didn't take them anywhere, the bees... are tired, this year it is very low.

[29:08]Beekeeper: There is no honey, this year it is very low.

[29:11]Interviewer: Have you been doing this service for a long time?

[29:13]Beekeeper: It's been four years. Five years. Five years.

[29:16]Beekeeper: Since the time we came from Aleppo, we have been serving it.

[29:20]Interviewer: You returned to your village?

[29:21]Beekeeper: I returned to the village, well, [to] things, animals and livestock...

[29:23]Interviewer: Did anyone in your family raise bees?

[29:25]Beekeeper: My grandfather raised them. He was a bee owner, my grandfather was a bee owner.

[29:29]Beekeeper: And during military service he also tended bees. Like a person's curiosity, one did that too, started it.

[29:34]Interviewer: Now one thing, you mentioned honey. Now they say this sugar honey...

[29:39]Interviewer: Meaning when they give sugar... We boil sugar, tighten it... The bee becomes...

[29:44]Beekeeper: If there is no bottom [foundation/nectar], sugar honey, if one extracts it later, it's all sugar.

[29:48]Beekeeper: Meaning there is a small natural percentage, it's all sugar.

[29:53]Interviewer: Is that where the cheating happens?

[29:55]Beekeeper: That's where the cheating happens. Not that there is sugar honey [naturally].

[29:57]Beekeeper: You give it to the bee, the bee later milks [produces] it, it's all sugar.

[30:00]Speaker 1: If nature yields well, it brings nectar.

[30:03]Speaker 1: But I haven't seen anything, this year...

[30:04]Host: Did nature give anything itself?

[30:06]Speaker 1: Nature is necessary, the bee is nature. And nature didn't exist this year.

[30:09]Speaker 1: Our weather isn't stable either, because of that.

[30:13]Speaker 1: Now they are dying.

[30:15]Host: How do you see your work? Is your work difficult, or is it not difficult?

[30:19]Speaker 1: The work, it has its difficulty, if you look after it.

[30:21]Speaker 1: Its difficulty, you have to apply medicine to it, you have to do things, there are mites...

[30:28]Speaker 1: It has enemies, it has many enemies.

[30:30]Host: What are the enemies?

[30:31]Speaker 1: Whatever exists in the world, its enemies are more than anything else.

[30:34]Speaker 1: The lizard comes, everything comes.

[30:37]Speaker 1: The water scorpion comes, the lizard comes, the [guhme] comes... everything comes wanting it.

[30:41]Speaker 1: The bee-eater bird comes. The bee-eater bird, from morning till evening in front of the [hive], kills the bees.

[30:47]Host: You know, I have gone to many places... it has its own book, the book of bees, they read it.

[30:51]Host: Meaning there are many villages, many people... they are very clever in this work.

[30:57]Speaker 1: Well, we also do service. Do we not do service?

[30:59]Host: You do it on time?

[31:00]Speaker 1: But we go according to knowledge. We don't go at it ignorantly.

[31:04]Speaker 1: There is a time you apply medicine. There is a time you... milk [harvest]. Time... everything is by time.

[31:10]Speaker 1: You do it step by step, you cover it, you smoke it, meaning the lizard won't hit it.

[31:15]Speaker 1: The inside of the bee... the lizard hits it. Eats it all, meaning.

[31:18]Speaker 1: It eats the honey too, it eats the bee too.

[31:21]Speaker 1: Meaning we cut the cover/wax too, meaning so the bee works.

[31:25]Speaker 1: Then this honey, they do these [gestures/flaps], right? These... they must be true.

[31:30]Speaker 1: You do this to take it out, it's good.

[31:33]Speaker 1: If it went, its home... it does that, you mix this with them and do it.

[31:37]Speaker 1: You do this well too, meaning strike it again with [acer?].

[31:40]Host: Do you also bring bees onto your beard?

[31:42]Speaker 1: I bring them, sure... but I don't have them this year.

[31:44]Speaker 1: There was no swarm, there was no larva.

[31:46]Host: Once in our Kurdish village what? A young man, his name was Ciwan...

[31:49]Host: Brought them onto his beard. Yeah, at that moment what?

[31:52]Speaker 1: No, I don't see many of them. But otherwise... meaning swarms this year in general didn't exist. The swarm had no larvae.

[31:58]Host: Didn't exist?

[31:59]Speaker 1: No.

[32:00]Host: Now what will we do, you said?

[32:01]Speaker 1: Now here... let's now... take out the honey.

[32:03]Host: Is there honey in it or not?

[32:05]Speaker 1: Let's look. If there is, we'll take it out. If there isn't, there isn't.

[32:09]Host: Yes dear viewers, come let's watch together, how they will take out the honey.

[32:14]Host: Where is the honey?

[32:16]Speaker 1: Oh, here it is.

[32:18]Speaker 1: This one's name is Maşe [tongs]. This one's name is Kûrik [smoker].

[32:26]Host: Where is the cameraman, let him come close.

[32:35]Speaker 1: These... are all empty.

[32:36]Speaker 1: These should have been all full of honey.

[32:39]Speaker 1: This year honey is scarce, meaning. Either there is some, or there isn't.

[32:46]Speaker 1: Meaning this year the larvae have no food.

[32:58]Speaker 1: Look, these are all empty. These should have all been full of honey.

[33:00]Speaker 1: This year honey is scarce...

[33:22]Host: None?

[33:23]Speaker 1: These are empty. Look these are all empty.

[33:28]Speaker 1: No, every year these were all honey. Up to here was honey.

[33:32]Speaker 1: Now we reached the harvest, there is nothing. No honey.

[33:36]Speaker 1: This was larvae, syrup.

[34:11]Host: How was it? No honey?

[34:13]Speaker 1: By God there wasn't. We did all these, nothing came out.

[34:17]Speaker 1: I don't know... let me lift this one for you too. If there is, there is. If not, this year the cutting, we reached the end and nothing came out.

[34:35]Speaker 1: Man, we reached the eating of the frames.

[34:40]Speaker 1: Look, all empty.

[34:50]Speaker 1: We reached the end and honey... none.

[34:52]Speaker 1: We cut all this, nothing.

[34:54]Speaker 1: It was empty.

[34:55]Host: May God's universe/power be pleased with you.

[35:01]Speaker 1: Well now, the honey, your sustenance wasn't in it.

[35:04]Host: May your house be prosperous. Thanks.

[35:06]Speaker 1: God be pleased with you.
