Shener and Emine Keskin, a couple from Ordu, have been producing high-quality honey in Hakkari for 20 years. At ages 66 and 67, they moved to Hakkari after years of beekeeping in various provinces of Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia. Shener, who initially worked in construction in Istanbul, was inspired by his beekeeping relatives and began this profession in 1980. The couple settled in the Uğurlu village of Pınarca, about 50 kilometers from Hakkari, drawn by the region's rich flora, clean water sources, high altitude, and the warm interest of the locals.
