Honey harvesting has commenced in the hives relocated to Zilan Plateau in Erciş, Van, this spring. Producers in the area, who previously faced challenges due to terrorism, now report working without security concerns. The quantity of honey in the combs is satisfying for the beekeepers, who attribute the positive results to the rainfall during winter and spring.

Located over 2,500 meters above sea level and 40 kilometers from Erciş center, the plateau benefits from a long spring season and diverse plant life, making it ideal for beekeeping. According to producers, the winter and spring rains have enhanced both the quantity and quality of the honey this year. Beekeepers express their satisfaction with the full combs collected during the harvest.
