History

Sde Eliyahu 1946
Sde Eliyahu 1947

Sde Eliyahu was founded on 8 May 1939 by

Ein HaNatziv, Shluhot and Tirat Zvi.[2]

After the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Sde Eliyahu began to farm the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Arab al-'Arida.[3]

Economy

The kibbutz produces

dates, olives, grapes, pomegranates, spices and field crops, as well as dairy cattle and poultry. Organic farming methods and non-pesticide management
are used.

BioBee was established in 1983 as the Sde Eliyahu Biological Control Insectaries.[4] The company mass-breeds and sells insects that are natural enemies of pests, sterile males of the Mediterranean fruit fly for pest control using the sterile insect technique, and bumblebees for pollination in greenhouses and open farmfields.[5] In 2021, BioBee's use of persimilis, a predatory mite, to replace chemical pesticides, won the Bernard Blum Award from the International Biocontrol Manufacturers Association in Basel, which named it the leading biocontrol solution of the year.[6]

Education

"Shaked" is a regional religious school located on the kibbutz. The kibbutz also operates a

beit midrash, an ulpan
and a volunteer program; Students work three days a week and study three days a week, and are provided with their own dormitories, break room, and living area.
