Osman Kaya, a long-time beekeeper from Kozaklı Mahallesi, emphasizes that his bees primarily benefit from St. John's wort flowers and pine trees. He states, “We have been producing honey for years without compromising our natural production approach. Our bees mainly feed on St. John's wort and especially pine. The sharp taste and natural quality of our honey come from these sources. We produce entirely natural honey without any additives.” He notes that the region's rich flora directly enhances the flavor of the honey, which has garnered significant consumer interest due to its aroma and quality. Kozaklı Mahallesi, surrounded by pine forests, offers an ideal environment for beekeeping and continues to play a vital role in natural honey production.
