Bertal and Zeytin Albay, a couple from Kartaldere village near Muş, began their beekeeping journey 40 years ago with 30 hives and have now expanded to 600, producing around 8 tons of honey this season. They transport their bees to Mersin, Antalya, Adana, and Hatay during winter and return them to Varto's rich flora in spring.

Bertal Albay, 60, credits much of their success to his wife, stating that they have been beekeeping in harmony with nature for four decades and even produce their own queen bees. He describes beekeeping as a demanding yet rewarding profession, noting that this year's abundant rainfall has led to a more fruitful season compared to last year.
