In Bitlis’s Hizan district, villagers harvest rock honey naturally formed in steep rocky areas of high mountains, reached after walking several kilometers. Bees in the region create combs in rocky and hollow areas at high altitudes.

Despite difficult terrain, villagers make great efforts to collect honey from combs on steep slopes and hard-to-reach spots. This honey is known as a natural product stored by bees in combs they build without human intervention.

The rock honey produced by bees feeding on various flowers at high altitudes attracts attention with its unique aroma. Villagers, who walk for hours to harvest, emphasize that the honey is obtained entirely in a natural environment without human touch.
