We see the protection and increase of honey forests among our main responsibilities. After the 2 honey forests we restored in Çanakkale the previous year, we are reviving 5 more honey forests this year.
We are establishing the infrastructure that beekeepers need, from transmission lines to water pools, from road construction to bee milking machines, in 5 honey forests.
In addition to 650 beekeepers from the honey forests who are members of the Çanakkale Beekeepers' Union, approximately 350 itinerant beekeepers in the surrounding provinces; a total of 1000 beekeepers and their families will benefit, at least 10,000 beehives and 100 tons of honey will be milked, and $500,000 income will be created for our beekeepers.
