October 28, 2026 - With the end of the 2026 honey harvest in the Gümüşhane plateaus, critical winter preparations have begun for beekeepers. Due to climate conditions and irregular rainfall, honey yield decreased by 40-50% in this region known for its rich flora. This situation requires more careful preparation of hives for winter.

In Gümüşhane, one of the important beekeeping centers of Eastern Black Sea, migratory beekeepers have started their journey back to wintering sites from high-altitude plateaus. According to the general orders issued by the Gümüşhane Governorship, hive transport, records, and hive tags are carefully checked and carried out during night hours.
