50% Subsidized Bee Hives Distributed to Beekeepers in Siirt

As part of the 'Siirt Beekeeping and Bee Products Development Project' by the Siirt Governorship, 2,000 bee hives with pollen traps were distributed to 100 producers with a 50% subsidy.

In his opening speech, Governor Dr. Kemal Kızılkaya stated that projects aimed at improving beekeeping will continue and mentioned their goal of being among the top 5 in honey production. Noting that there are 203,418 hives, Governor Kızılkaya said, "With the 2,000 hives we are distributing today, we will catch and surpass Şanlıurfa, which is currently in 10th place, and enter the top 10 today. Last year, we had a production of 2,800 tons of honey."

Beekeeper Metin Kaygıç, who received 20 hives, said, "I am engaged in beekeeping, and I thank our governor and the state officials. We were given 20 bee hives with a 50% subsidy. On behalf of the Beekeeping Union, I thank everyone. We are taking the hives to our border between Bitlis Hizan and Şirvan. Hopefully, it will be productive."

Beekeeper Sait Akarca stated, "I came from Pervari. I thank our Provincial Director of Agriculture and Forestry, our association presidents, and our governor for distributing the hives. Our Pervari honey is famous. It has been a great project. I also received 20 hives with a 50% subsidy, and I believe it will be productive."
