Following the discovery of narcotics in beehives in Yüksekova district of Hakkâri, Ali Demir, President of the Turkish Beekeepers Central Union, made a statement. Demir emphasized their support for the fight against drugs and stated that the method used in the incident should not be associated with beekeeping.

Demir noted that drug trafficking is carried out by various methods and that the crime should be distinguished from the means used. He said the use of beehives in this case cannot be linked to the beekeeping profession.

He stressed that the use of hives as a tool in crime should not cast suspicion on the beekeeping sector and pointed out that similar situations can occur in other sectors. He emphasized that the crime should not be connected to beekeepers.
