Honey production in Eskişehir, Turkey

Overview

Honey production in Eskişehir, Turkey, has seen notable developments regarding product variety and regional output. In the Alpu district, producer Hakkı İşçi reported the discovery of rare green-colored honey, referred to as ‘emerald honey.’ This phenomenon, which reportedly occurs globally only once every 10 to 15 years, is attributed to high chlorophyll concentrations from specific nectar. Samples are being sent for laboratory analysis to determine the cause and health benefits of the color.

Concurrently, the Eskişehir Beekeepers Association reported an increase in both the volume and quality of honey production following the end of a two-year drought. The region’s diverse flora and the Sakarya Valley’s varied altitude are credited with enhancing the honey’s aromatic properties. To address market concerns, the Association has advised against unscientific authenticity tests and has recommended seasonal price ranges for strained and honeycomb honey.
