Turkish university apiculture and research initiatives

Overview

Turkish universities are increasingly integrating apiculture and scientific research into their academic and regional development programs.

Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University reported a successful harvest of approximately 3 tonnes of honey from over 200 hives. This project, conducted in collaboration with the Niğde Beekeepers Union, helped secure a geographical indication for Niğde Geven honey and serves as a training platform for students.

Similarly, Bitlis Eren University has expanded its Bee and Bee Products Development, Application, and Research Center from 30 to 200 hives. The university is focusing on queen bee production to supply local beekeepers and conducting scientific studies to support the brand value of Bitlis honey.
