Siirt University has successfully tested the honey yield of its queen bees produced through scientific methods, achieving 28-40 kilograms of honey from some hives. This yield significantly exceeds the national average of 11.03 kilograms and Siirt's average of 12.27 kilograms.

The university's Beekeeping Application and Research Center has advanced its efforts to develop queen bees suited to the climate and flora of the Southeastern Anatolia Region. The project utilized local bee populations along with Caucasian, Anatolian, Carniolan, and Italian bee breeds. The produced queens were monitored in the center's colonies to assess their performance under field conditions, with honey yields recorded during the production season.
