In Karaveli village of Sorgun district, Yozgat, a 13-decare hemp field is expected to yield a high harvest this year. The project’s notable aspect is the apiary established right next to the field. Oğuzhan Şahin, who continues beekeeping inherited from his grandfather, has been combining hemp cultivation with beekeeping for two years and has not applied varroa mite treatment to his bees during this time. Şahin reported increased honey yield and no diseases in the hives.

The harvest program was coordinated by the Sorgun District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry. It was noted that Yozgat is among the limited provinces in Turkey where hemp cultivation is permitted. The harvest was attended by Director Canbolat and Sorgun District Governor Abdurrezzak Canpolat.
