A 20-year-old university student, İsmail Gültekin, has returned to his grandfather's former neighborhood in Kayseri, abandoned due to a flood 47 years ago. Starting with 7 hives, he aims to increase his apiary to 50 and produce over a ton of honey this season. Gültekin expressed that city life and salaried work do not suit him, preferring a job he can leave when he feels bored.

After the 1979 flood, residents of Şeyhşaban Mahallesi were relocated to a safer area with government assistance. Gültekin, a second-year student at Kayseri University, has returned to his ancestral lands to pursue beekeeping. He plans to harvest more than a ton of honey from his 50 hives in the diverse flora of the abandoned neighborhood.
