In Muğla, a key center for Turkey's pine honey production, favorable climate conditions have prompted beekeepers to relocate their hives to the pine forests in the Kozağaç area of Yatağan. Early in the morning, beekeepers extract honey from the combs in extraction tents, a process expected to continue in the coming weeks depending on the weather. Sabri Akkır, a 71-year-old beekeeper with over 50 years of experience, noted that they have begun this year's honey harvest. He manages nearly 400 hives and mentioned the challenges of the profession, stating that younger generations are not taking it up. He and his family work together, collecting about 25-30 cans of honey daily.
