LocationAsia

Rehov, meaning "broad", "wide place", was an important Bronze and Iron Age city located at Tel Rehov or تل الصارم Tell es-Sarem, an archaeological site in the Bet She'an Valley, a segment of the Jordan Valley, Israel, approximately 5 kilometres south of Beit She'an and 3 kilometres west of the Jordan River.

The oldest apiary discovered anywhere by archaeologists, including man-made beehives and remains of the bees themselves, dating between the mid-10th century BCE and the early 9th century BCE, came to light on the tell. In the nearby ruins of the mainly Byzantine-period successor of Iron Age Rehov, a Jewish town named Rohob or Roōb, archaeologists discovered the longest mosaic inscription found so far in the Land of Israel.
