In Ankara's Çubuk district, beekeepers are actively harvesting flower honey. Tevfik Ulu, who manages 500 hives in Ovacık Mahallesi, noted that the area's high altitude and rich vegetation significantly benefit honey production. He highlighted Ovacık as a key region for beekeeping and aims to produce an average of 20-25 tons of honey this season.
