Traveling beekeeping women in Muğla try to produce the best honey by traveling with their spouses in different cities. In Muğla, where approximately 80 percent of Turkey’s pine honey production is met, migratory beekeeping also has an important place. In addition to pine honey, there are many women among the traveling beekeepers who go to the highlands of Central and Eastern Anatolia and Thrace Region in the spring to obtain honey of different types and flavors. Women beekeepers traveling from province to province with their spouses transport their hives to regions with plant richness at high altitudes for the best flower honey and pollen production. Beekeepers, who stay away from their homes and sometimes their children in order to obtain quality honey, continue their lives in huts or tents they set up near the hives.
