Özvatan flower honey, produced in Kayseri's Özvatan district, is gaining popularity due to its unique aroma derived from endemic plants. Registered as a geographical indication by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office in 2020, this honey is sought after across Turkey. Beekeepers are working diligently to harvest the honey, particularly in the Kağnı Tepesi area at an altitude of 1500 meters, where they have set up electric fences to protect their hives from bears. Early in the morning, they check the hives, ensure the bees have water, and collect honey-filled combs for extraction. In January, they transport their bees to Mersin.
