Ordu Beekeepers Association President Akın Çiftçi announced that the recent regulation on the collection of bee venom, published in the Official Gazette, is a positive development for the beekeeping industry. The new rules aim to enhance product diversity in the apitherapy sector and increase producers' income levels.

The regulation establishes comprehensive guidelines for the production of raw bee venom, ensuring it is done in a traceable and controlled manner. According to the new rules, bee venom can only be collected through businesses authorized by the Ministry and under a contractual production model.
