Season for sunflower honey has commenced in Isparta as migratory beekeepers return after producing cedar and highland honeys. The price per kilogram ranges from 600 to 1,000 TL.

With the arrival of summer, migratory beekeepers have resumed their honey production activities. After wintering in Antalya, particularly in the Aksu region, producers have moved their hives to Isparta since May. Honey harvesting occurs from late June to July, followed by the production of cedar, thistle, and flower honey. By mid-July, some honey is harvested, and bees are moved to sunflower fields for sunflower honey production. Beekeepers typically harvest three times a year, following this cycle.
