Bingol Honey Product Description and Distinctive Features: Bingöl Honey is a polyfloral honey obtained from the province of Bingöl. Its color can vary from light amber to dark amber. It is produced in comb, honeycomb, and strained forms. The production involves the use of the Apis mellifera anatoliaca, A. mellifera caucasica, A. mellifera meda races, and their hybrids. Bingöl province is surrounded by mountains, and within the province, volcanic plateaus at different elevations, valleys formed by rivers cutting through mountainous areas, plains and basins formed due to tectonism between mountain masses, constitute the main morphological units. The rapidly changing elevation and topography over short distances lead to diversity in climate elements and vegetation cover. The average altitude of the plateaus is 1500-2000 m, resulting in a cool summer with an extended flowering period. This geographic structure allows for beekeeping activities from June to October and provides the possibility of sheltered local areas for beekeeping. The flowering period starts in the first week of March and continues until the end of August. In high plateaus at elevations of 1900-2500 m, it starts in the first week of June and lasts until the end of August. Beekeeping activities begin with the flowering period and end in the last week of August, which is the milking period. The absence of heavy industrial facilities in Bingöl, along with the cleanliness of soil and water resources, contributes to the purity of the honey. The high annual rainfall and the abundance of sunny days in Bingöl enrich the flora of the geographical boundary. Oak trees (Quercus petraea subsp. pinnatiloba (K.Koch) Menitsky and Quercus libani Oliv.) dominate the forested areas. In steppe areas, Astragalus muschianus Kotschy & Boiss. ex Boiss. and Astragalus gummifer Labill. are found in abundance. Bingöl's flora consists of approximately 300 endemic plant taxa and a total of 1700 plant species. Additionally, more than 200 plant taxa have been registered as bee plants. The prominent plant families in bee flora are Asteraceae (daisy family), Fabaceae (legumes), and Hypericaceae (St. John's wort family). The presence of at least one of the taxa such as Hypericum sp. (St. John's wort), Xeranthemum sp. (immortelle), Centaurea sp. (cornflower), Trifolium sp. (clover), and Astragalus sp. (milkvetch) from these families is a distinctive feature of Bingöl Honey.Beekeeping activities conducted for many years in Bingöl have been a significant source of livelihood within the geographic boundary.
