Muş Ovası completes honey harvest with 700 tons produced

Beekeepers in the Muş Ovası region of Turkey have completed their summer honey harvest, yielding approximately 700 tons of honey from roughly 290,000 hives.

The production involved about 710 beekeepers who traveled to the region from various provinces, including Ordu, Muğla, Diyarbakır, and Şanlıurfa. Mehmet Şahin Kaya, President of the Muş Honey Producers Association, noted the high quality of the honey, describing it as generally organic due to the region's rich flora and abundant cushion plants (geven).

Following the harvest, beekeepers have begun moving their hives to provinces such as Batman, Mardin, Diyarbakır, Şanlıurfa, and Hatay to ensure the bees remain in more suitable climates during the winter months. The association aims to increase production and promote Muş honey in future seasons.
