According to the Beekeeping Product Report prepared by the General Directorate of Agricultural Reform, Turkey holds a significant position in the global beekeeping sector due to its rich vegetation, climate diversity, and geographical structure. Turkey, known for its regional varieties such as flower, pine, and chestnut honey, achieved a production of 95,492 tons of honey with 97,984 businesses and 8.8 million hives by the end of 2024.
