At 46, Muhlis Kızıl from Van has transformed his life by selling a cow inherited from his father and starting beekeeping. He began with just 10 hives 28 years ago and has now expanded to 650 hives. Kızıl produces honey at an altitude of 2,000 meters, distributing it across Turkey and to customers in Germany, sending approximately 90 kilograms annually.

Living in the Arvas neighborhood of Bahçesaray, Kızıl gradually developed his beekeeping skills, leading to his current success. He utilizes the rich flora of the region to continue honey production, supporting his family through the sale of both raw and filtered honey. Kızıl aims to increase his hive count further, aspiring to become more prominent in the industry.
