On August 27, 2026, beekeepers in Malatya received a harvest warning regarding honey quality. The honey harvesting season has commenced in the Pütürge district, prompting the Pütürge District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry to advise beekeepers on maintaining product quality and ensuring a safe harvesting process. The directorate emphasized the importance of preserving honey's natural properties and the health of bee colonies during this period.

The directorate highlighted that honey should only be harvested once it has reached sufficient maturity. Early harvesting can lead to high moisture content in honey, increasing the risk of fermentation. Therefore, beekeepers are urged to pay close attention to the timing of their harvests.
