On August 12, 2026, honey harvesting took place in the Erdemli district of Mersin as part of beekeeping activities. Nihal Denli, Director of the Alata Horticultural Research Institute, and Neslihan Parmaksız, Head of the Beekeeping Department, inspected the institute's beekeeping center. Denli examined the hives individually and noted that favorable climate conditions this year have enhanced honey quality.

Denli explained that the diversity of flowering plants has improved both the quality and yield of honey. During summer, they relocate their hives to higher altitudes, a practice also adopted by many local beekeepers. He highlighted that honey produced in Musa Bozuldu Plateau is recognized globally for its quality and has won awards.
