The Pine Honey Yield is Increasing in Muğla

As the damaged forest areas in Muğla begin to flourish, pine honey production has reached 17 thousand tons. The regeneration of forest areas affected by fires and the ability to harvest three times in areas where the bark beetle (poşnil) has been relocated have contributed to the increase in honey yield. Muğla also hosts migratory beekeepers from many parts of Turkey. After the spring flower honey harvest, beekeepers arriving in the region produce honey from August until the beginning of December. Veli Türk, the President of the Muğla Beekeepers Association, stated that they have harvested 17 thousand tons of pine honey this year.
