The Turkish Beekeepers' Central Union (TAB) Vice President Kazım Doğan has emphasized the need for producers to receive support based on meteorological data, citing that excessive rainfall has led to significant losses in honey production. He stated, "Supporting our producers according to meteorological data is crucial."

Doğan informed an AA reporter that the 2026 production season has been adversely affected by prolonged rainfall exceeding seasonal norms across the country. He noted that the impacts of climate change on the beekeeping sector are becoming increasingly evident each year, particularly highlighting the heavy rains in February, March, and April in the Mediterranean Region, which disrupted early beekeeping activities.
