CAUSES OF LOW YIELD IN BEE PRODUCTS IN OSMANIYE, TURKEY. -

The purpose of this research is to develop solutions by identifying the causes of low productivity of bee products produced in Osmaniye. For this purpose, 107 beekeepers registered to Osmaniye Union producers were interviewed. According to the findings, it was determined that people involved in beekeeping in Osmaniye were largely with low levels of education at an average of 49 years of experience in beekeeping and they dealt with beekeeping for 11 years. Honey yield per hive in beekeeping business in Osmaniye is approximately 13 kg. The most important causes of yield loss are technical information failure, excessive colony, diseases and parasites, and the use of non-standard material. In order to increase yields first, the level of knowledge should be increased by presenting educational programs. It must therefore be concentrated on agricultural extension activities. The union that is the member in training activities should take an active role. - See more at:
