Fikri Pınarlı, the member of the Provincial General Council from the Great Unity Party, has criticized a new regulation that imposes a fee of 100 TL per hive on beekeepers utilizing honey forests and bee accommodation points. He emphasized that the beekeeping sector should receive support rather than face additional financial burdens.

Pınarlı made a strong statement regarding the recent decision by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, which mandates a new payment from beekeepers starting in 2026. This "Bee Accommodation Ecosystem Service Fee" will be charged per hive, raising concerns about the financial strain on producers.
