A large part (84%) of the beekeepers were migratory beekeepers and 78,2% of the beekeepers had placement and accommodation problems. It was determined that the three most important factors for the beekeepers in the development of the Bingol beekeeping; not enough knowledge in beekeeping (32.2%), inadequate subsidies (29.9%), and marketing problems (23%).
