In Ordu, approximately 17,000 tons of honey were produced in the 2026 season with 600,000 hives and 3,500 registered beekeepers. Despite decreases in chestnut, acacia, and forest rose honey yields, Ordu maintained its position as Turkey's top honey-producing province.

The majority of production consisted of flower honey and comb honey; about 70% of beekeepers produce comb honey. Some of the honey was sold while some was stored in warehouses, affecting market prices and planning for the next season.
