Mehmet Ata Akkoyun, a long-time beekeeper, claims that a new quota system has hindered many producers from accessing highlands and honey production areas this season. He alleges that in some regions, local agricultural authorities and village heads are collaborating to severely limit the areas available for beekeepers to place their hives. Akkoyun noted that while a village could normally accommodate five truckloads of bees, only two truckloads are currently permitted, affecting hundreds of beekeepers.
