Dear Beekeepers and Beekeeping Stakeholders,
Beekeeping is a sector that is of vital importance in terms of nature's sustainability and food safety. The benefits that bees provide to the ecosystem are not limited to honey production alone, but also contribute to the natural cycle by increasing the efficiency of plant production. In this context, the mission of our research center is to support the beekeeping sector with scientific methods, produce innovative solutions and guide our beekeepers.
As a center, we carry out various projects to protect bee health, increase productivity and cope with challenges such as climate change. Our scientific studies focus on protecting bee populations and developing effective methods to combat bee diseases. At the same time, we aim to provide knowledge to young beekeepers and ensure the sustainability of the beekeeping profession with our educational activities.
I would like to state that we are always with you, our valued beekeepers, and that we will continue to contribute to the development of the sector. We will continue to work together for a stronger, healthier and more efficient beekeeping sector.
I wish you success in your nature-friendly work and wish you a healthy and fruitful season.
