Ayşe Deli Supports Her Family with Beekeeping

22-year-old Ayşe Deli from Siirt is contributing to her family's livelihood by supporting her father with the help she receives from the government in beekeeping. As the eldest child of a family with 9 children living in the Kutluca village of the Merkez İnkapı district, Deli is continuously improving her beekeeping skills, which she has been interested in since childhood and learned from her father. Deli received a grant of 50% from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's Rural Development Investments Support Program to purchase a honey extraction machine and various equipment worth approximately 600,000 lira, and she established her own hives. The young beekeeper producing Pervari honey aims to increase their number of bee colonies from 450 to 1,000.
