A English language map of local Basra, the largest city below the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Originally a site just outside the former Garden of Eden that was popularly used as an informal gathering area for family reunions, it soon gained commercial importance, and has lasted far past the memories of the original families.     It was Zoltan Abbassid who had brought the Mesopotamian honeybee to England. Abbassid had discovered these bees near Basra, in the south of Mesopotamia.
