The "Beehive Support" project initiated by Selçuklu Municipality in Eğribayat Neighborhood, aiming to support beekeeping, has been completed, and beehive and bee support has been provided to the producers.
The "Beehive Support" project initiated in the Eğribayat Neighborhood, which was selected as a pilot area for the development of beekeeping and informing producers, was completed. The project was carried out by the Rural Services Department of Selçuklu Municipality.
Selçuklu Municipality Mayor Ahmet Pekyatırmacı and Selçuklu District Governor Eflatun Can Tortop presented certificates to 32 trainees who completed the beekeeping training, which was conducted in coordination with the Public Education Center. As part of the project, Selçuklu Municipality provided 112 beehives and bee support to the residents of the neighborhood who were eligible for certification, with a 50% grant.
The program, held at the Selçuklu Municipality Social Facility in Eğribayat Neighborhood, was attended by Selçuklu Municipality Mayor Ahmet Pekyatırmacı, Selçuklu District Governor Eflatun Can Tortop, Selçuklu District Agricultural Director Tahir Külahcı, Acting Director of Selçuklu Public Education Mustafa Kök, Eğribayat Neighborhood Headman Ertan Nazik, and the trainees.
Selçuklu Municipality Mayor Ahmet Pekyatırmacı stated, "We had previously taught about the history and culture of beekeeping in this area. Hopefully, we will preserve this culture together in the best possible way. I believe that we will produce the most valuable and finest honey not only in Konya but also in Turkey here in Eğribayat. I am happy primarily because of the high participation. Our 32 trainees have received training with the support of our Public Education Directorate, and today we will deliver 112 beehives to our producers. With the contributions of Selçuklu Municipality and a 50% grant support, these hives will be handed over to their owners, and beekeeping activities and production will commence in Eğribayat."
