Rahime Yıldırım Kurtoğlu, a high agricultural engineer from Adıyaman, began beekeeping in Çüngüş, Diyarbakır, to ensure her children consume natural honey after relocating due to her husband's job.

Having completed her undergraduate studies in Field Crops at Bingöl University and a master's degree at Ankara University, Kurtoğlu moved to Çüngüş at the end of 2025, where she was captivated by the area's rich flora nourished by the Euphrates River.

Recognizing the potential for beekeeping, Kurtoğlu decided to produce natural honey for her daughters, supported by her farmer father and training, and began with 200 hives.

She strategically placed the 200 hives in the rural area, considering climate and environmental factors, and commenced production.
