On July 20, 2026, the crisis regarding the 100 TL fee per hive imposed by the General Directorate of Forestry (OGM) in Bolu has been postponed. This decision has relieved beekeepers in Bolu, known for its rich honey forests. Following strong reactions from producer unions and opposition, OGM has suspended the "Bee Accommodation Ecosystem Service Fee" until further notice. Bolu, a key beekeeping region in Turkey with extensive forests and diverse flora, sees this postponement as a significant relief for local beekeepers and the many migratory producers visiting the area.
