A new era in beekeeping is commencing with a significant regulation on bee venom production

A new era in beekeeping is commencing with a significant regulation on bee venom production. The Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has enacted the long-awaited "Regulation on the Collection of Bee Venom," published in the Official Gazette. This initiative positions Turkey to become a global player in the apitherapy and value-added bee products market.

The new regulation establishes legal, technical, and hygienic standards for bee venom production, which previously lacked clear guidelines. This will ensure the protection of producers' efforts while providing high-quality raw materials for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
