Agricultural investigation of hemp-related honey in Yozgat

Overview

A honey producer in Yozgat, Turkey, reported significant increases in honey yields after placing beehives near a 13-decare hemp field. The producer, Şahin, noted that for the past two years he has not required medication for his bees, specifically citing an absence of Varroa mites which may be linked to the hemp.

Yozgat Bozok University has launched a scientific investigation through its Hemp Institute to analyze the honey’s chemical composition and study the potential impact of hemp on bee health. If the findings are positive, the producer plans to seek official registration for hemp-derived honey.
