Yozgat distributes 1,500 pollen-trap hives to local beekeepers

In Yozgat, Turkey, a collaborative project between the Yozgat Special Provincial Administration, the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Yozgat Beekeepers Association has distributed 1,500 pollen-trap hives to 100 local beekeepers.

The Yozgat Beekeeping Development Project has a total budget exceeding 4 million Turkish Liras. The initiative is 50% subsidized, with the Yozgat Special Provincial Administration and the participating farmers each contributing 2 million Liras.

Local officials aim to significantly boost the region's honey production. Yozgat Governor Mehmet Ali Özkan stated that the goal is to increase annual production from the current 550-600 tons to 1,000 tons. Additionally, Provincial Director of Agriculture and Forestry Ömer Şentürk noted that the new hives are expected to provide an annual production increase of 20 to 25 tons. The pollen-trap mechanism is designed to help beekeepers collect valuable pollen from bees as they enter the hives.
