In Bartın, Yavuz Gökçimen has expanded his beekeeping hobby from 5 hives to 30 in just two years, supported by local hive statistics and assistance programs. Gökçimen began with a passion for nature and is now working to professionalize his operations.

Initially, Gökçimen faced a lack of traditional knowledge in his community, prompting him to learn about beekeeping independently. As his hive count increased, he recognized the need for systematic management of his activities, including monitoring bee health and seasonal care.
