The Zhambyl region in Kazakhstan has seen a rise in the number of farms involved in beekeeping and honey production, with one farm owned by Zhanat Korpebayev producing over four tons of honey annually, making it the region's largest. Korpebayev is planning to open an apitherapeutic health complex using bee products for therapeutic purposes. The region has over 200 apiaries with about 80,000 bee colonies and is providing state support to beekeepers. The association is aiming to produce over 500 tons of honey per year with support from local executive bodies.
