In Tunceli, while modern beekeeping is becoming more common, traditional methods that have been practiced for centuries in Anatolia are still being preserved. Kazım Doğan, President of the Tunceli Beekeepers Association, noted that traditional beekeeping continues in Tunceli, emphasizing that modern hives have been used in Turkey for about 50-60 years, with significant advancements in the last 20-25 years through associations. Turkey is now the second largest honey producer globally, yet traditional practices remain vital. Despite modern hives, many still engage in traditional beekeeping, which involves minimal intervention, allowing bees to produce honey solely from natural nectar.
