SANAA, Yemen - Yemen's ruinous civil war has taken its toll on one of the impoverished country's prized exports - its coveted honey.
Thick, rich and as dense as liquid gold, Yemen's honey has traditionally been sought after in the oil-rich Gulf, where it is seen as a delicious and natural way to boost one's immune system.
The best of Yemen's honey, known as Sidr, comes from the Hadramawt region in the southeast, which has been gripped by unrest for years.
