Determination of the Factors Affecting the Honey Production Per Coloney in Bingöl Beekeeping Enterprises

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the factors affecting the honey yield per colony in beekeeping enterprises in Bingöl province by regression analysis. The number of enterprises to be surveyed with the "proportional sampling method" was determined as 87 in the province of Bingöl. "T test", "Anova", "Chi-square", "Correlation and Regression" analyzes were used to evaluate the data. According to the research findings; the average age of the surveyed beekeepers was 46.14 years and the average beekeeping period was 15.5 years. The average number of hives owned by beekeepers was 219.5, while the average honey yield per beehive was calculated as 11.4 kg-1. The coefficients of the variables in the model were found to be statistically significant. The R2 value, which determines the explanatory power of the model, was found to be 0.323 and the adjusted R2 value was found to be 0.203. The way beekeeping is done, the profession and the variables of getting information from PIKOM are determined as the variables that affect the honey yield. As a result; in conclusion; it has been concluded that there is an increase in honey yield per colony of the enterprises that are made by wandering beekeeping, beekeeping is done for the main income, the Caucasian bee race is used, the enterprises that receive training, support and information about beekeeping from picom and that are members of the union and that produce queen bees.. Considering Türkiye's ecological richness and existing rural economic conditions together, beekeeping; it should be done in an organizational, conscious and sustainable structure.
