MOST IMPORTANT VALUE OF BEEKEEPING:  CYPRUS BEES

Beekeeping Expert of the GAU Karpaz Life Campus Beekeeping Research Development and Application Centre - Oytun Sonel who commented on the issue, pointed out that the potential of beekeeping in North Cyprus is not used productively and only 5% of the potential is utilized in the country.

Sonel, who pointed  out that the specific Cyprus bee species has an important value in beekeeping, stated that the Cyprus bee is a species with very high honey yield but they are not preferred by local beekeepers because of their combative and swarming characters and the negative aspects of bringing bees of other species to country should be analyzed.

Sonel stated that rehabilitation work for the specific Cyprus bee species and training of producers will continue in GAU Karpaz Life Campus Beekeeping Research, Development and Application Center and noted that admissions for the Practical Beekeeping Training course has commenced at GAUSEM.
