The proposed regulation to charge beekeepers 100 Turkish Lira per hive as an "Apiary Accommodation Ecosystem Service Fee" has been suspended following strong opposition from beekeepers and industry representatives. The General Directorate of Forestry announced that the provisions related to this fee have been postponed until further notice. According to Veysel Ağdar from Ekonomim, negotiations between the Turkish Beekeepers' Central Union (TAB) and the General Directorate of Forestry have yielded results, leading to the halt of this fee collection plan due to producers' concerns over rising costs.
