Ali Babacan, the leader of the DEVA Party, criticized a new regulation proposing a fee of 100 Turkish Lira per hive for beekeepers operating in forested areas. This fee, termed "Bee Accommodation Ecosystem Service Fee," was discussed during a weekly group meeting of the Yeni Yol Group in the Turkish Grand National Assembly.

Babacan expressed his discontent with the fee, highlighting that while beekeepers receive a support of 140 Lira per hive, they are now being charged 100 Lira for keeping bees in forest areas. He remarked, "They are charging for bees staying in the forest," emphasizing the inconsistency of the policy.
