Qarsita (Arabic: قرصيتا) is a Sunni Muslim village[1] located in the highest mountains of Miniyeh-Danniyeh District, in the North Governorate of Lebanon.

The very cold village, in comparison with surrounded areas, is characterized by its nature scenery and its unique position overlooking the city of Tripoli, the towns of the Akkar District and the Syrian coast.

Since the 19th century, a large number of families migrated to the city of Tripoli either for work or to provide better educational opportunities.

According to the Municipality of Qarsita, about 80% of the population live on agricultural benefits accompanied by conventional breeding of animals.

Since 2000, beekeeping started to be an alternative product to agriculture due to weak exportation and the bad management from the successive governments.
