The Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality in Turkey has distributed 169 tons of white granulated sugar to 802 beekeepers at a 50 percent subsidized cost as part of its 'Beekeeping Support Project'. This initiative aims to reduce bee losses during the winter and enhance the efficiency and profitability of beekeeping through a stronger spring nectar flow. Last year, the municipality had distributed 175 tons of sugar to 705 producers. The distribution event saw the active participation of Uğur Şahin and his team, with beekeepers expressing their satisfaction with the support received and hoping for its continuation.
