Beekeeping is a good alternative activity and income source for rural population with its idiosyncratic features. There are great ecological conditions, number of colonies and great potential in terms of labor force in order to develop beekeeping in Turkey. In our country, the total number of colonies 1.095.800 has been increased by 707,09 % 7.748.287 in 2015. In the same manner our honey production has been increased 4.338 tons to 108.128 with 2.492,58 % increase. This increase was from 602 tons to 4.756 tons for beeswax. Also, honey production per colony has been increased 3,96 kg to 13,96 kg with 352,53 % since 1935. Total honey and bee wax production has been increased regularly by years except same declines for same years. The reason of honey production and bee wax production is the increased number of colonies not from productivity per colony. Unfortunately, the productivity of each colony still has not increased sufficiently even though there have been increased in total honey, bee wax yields and the number of colonies in recent years in our country. Although Turkey ecologically has a very favorable nature for beekeeping, unfortunately only a fraction of its potential is used. It is necessary to address urgently some reforms that will bring a radical solution to the problems related to inefficiency in Turkish beekeeping.
