The General Directorate of Forestry (OGM) has introduced a new fee structure for beekeepers using state forests and honey forests, setting the accommodation cost at 100 TL per hive starting in 2026. This decision, outlined in the official notice dated June 18, 2026, specifies that the collected fees will contribute to the OGM's revolving fund budget.

This new regulation particularly impacts migratory beekeepers who relocate their hives to forested areas each season. Beekeepers must declare the number of hives they intend to place, and after paying the 100 TL fee per hive to the OGM's account, they will receive permission to access these locations.
