Bornova Municipality is Establishing a Honey Forest

Bornova Municipality's Beekeeping Training and Honey Forest Project

Bornova Municipality has created an apiary on a 22.5-acre area in the Kayadibi Neighborhood to allow those receiving beekeeping training to place their hives. To transform this area into a Honey Forest, 300 fruit saplings have been planted. Preparations have begun to plant 500 acacia trees and 500 fruit saplings within this year. Bornova Municipality provides beekeeping training, particularly aimed at citizens living in rural neighborhoods, with a focus on local development. The second round of these trainings, which are both practical and hands-on, was completed last autumn, and certificates were awarded to the participants.
