A new era has begun in migratory beekeeping in Turkey, which facilitates the transfer of millions of bees from flower to flower. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's General Directorate of Forestry (OGM) announced that beekeepers using state forests will be charged a "Bee Accommodation Ecosystem Service Fee" of 100 TL per hive. This fee, effective from June 18, 2026, under the "Regulation on Beekeeping Activities in Honey Forests and Forest Areas," is expected to increase costs for migratory beekeepers who move to different regions during the season.
