Ordu, Turkey's leading province in honey production, completed the 2026 harvest season with approximately 17,000 tons of honey. The city has 600,000 bee hives and 10,000 families earn their livelihood from beekeeping. Success was achieved in flower and comb honey production, while there were significant yield losses in chestnut, acacia, and forest rose honey.

This amount is close to last year's level and highlights the importance of beekeeping in the regional economy.
