In the Van region and its surroundings, which is an important area for beekeeping due to its high-altitude plateaus and rich vegetation, the harvest of black hive honey, considered one of the most valuable honeys produced in Turkey, has begun. The black hive honey, produced naturally without the addition of artificial combs, using only the comb built by worker bees, and without the use of sugar or any additives, is highly sought after. The black hive honey, produced in basket hives made from willow branches and covered with mud, will start to find its place on dining tables, thanks to women dressed in pink. In recent years, with the support provided, the number of women beekeepers has increased, contributing to the local economy while continuing the production of natural honey.
