Determination of Risk Factors in Beekeeping Enterprises in Burdur Province
Öz
Türkiye holds a significant place in global honey production rankings; however, its yield per hive remains below the world average. According to 2022 data, there is a 3.78-fold difference in hive yield between Türkiye, which ranks third globally in the number of hives, and China, which holds the second position. This situation highlights the need to improve hive productivity to ensure the sustainability of the Turkish beekeeping sector. Numerous direct and indirect risk factors contribute to the sector’s inability to achieve adequate productivity. Türkiye’s diverse and varied geographical structures result in these risk factors varying from region to region. In this context, the study aims to identify the risk factors encountered by beekeeping enterprises in Burdur province, located in the Western Mediterranean Region, throughout the production to marketing process. As part of the research, beekeeping enterprises included in the 2025 sample were visited, and the “Beekeeping Risk Factor Scale” was administered. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis conducted on the applied scale, a four-factor structure was identified, explaining a total variance of 71.413%. This structure comprises 25 items. The variance explained by each factor is as follows: 21.826% by socioeconomic factors, 19.394% by technical factors, 12.767% by factors related to itinerant beekeeping, and 10.769% by factors related to marketing. As a result, it is crucial for the sustainability of the sector that both beekeeping enterprises and policymakers acknowledge the risk factors identified in Burdur province. Developing solution-oriented policies and implementing measures to mitigate these risks are of great importance.
