| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> In this study, structural characteristics and production
problems of the beekeeping enterprises are examined in the
Denizli, Mugla and Aydin provinces.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> The material of the research was
provided through questionnaires from Turkish Association of
Beekeepocooperatives member beekeeping enterprises. In the
study, 73 enterprises were determined by stratified random
sampling method. Frequency, and percent distribution of these
enterprises according to their survey findings for the 2014-
2015 operating period. Differences between the two dependent
groups were examined by the "Wilcoxon test".<p>
<b>Results:</b> The average age and beekeeping experience (year) of
producers with primary school graduates (61.6%) was 50,08 ±
9,25 and 17,52 ± 11,02 respectively. In the enterprises where
the rate of specialization is low (20.5%), average honey yield
per hive was found to be 14.44 ± 6.56. Among the problems experienced
in the production, not to be taken into village land
(26,9%) and transportation (17,7%) took the first two places.
The producers expect more support from the TAB Associations,
where they are members, for storage-marketing and accommodation-
transporting.<p>
<b>Conclusion: </b>According to the research findings, it can be said
that the producer profile is important for sustainable beekeeping
In particular, young producers are encouraged to use promoting
policies in this area. Moreover, in terms of quality and
productive honey production, bee diseases should be more effectively
fighted and necessary limitations should be given to
hive mobility. Current support policies should be revised. |
