Beekeeping has been an activity performed for long years in Turkey. As allowed by its ecological and socio- economic structure, beekeeping may be made all around Turkey. Aegean Region, Black Sea Region and Mediterranean Region are very important regions respectively for beekeeping in terms of both the availability of hives and the share of production. About 65% of Turkish Honey Production is carried out in these three regions. First ten provinces for honey production are Mugla, Ordu, Adana, Aydın, Sivas, Antalya, Izmir, Icel, Erzincan and Samsun, almost half of honey production is carried out in these provinces. Izmir Province has a very significant potential thanks to the winter season progressing moderately and rich flora in spring in terms of the development of beekeeping. Thus the studies to be performed about the territory will be of great importance in terms of social and economic factors and will guide the policies to be developed. The purpose of this study is to introduce the economic aspects of beekeeping in Izmir and to analyze the related problems and to develop solution suggestions for these problems. Period from 2004 to 2013 will be taken as a basis. The data of Turkish Statistical Institute, Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock, Izmir Beekeepers Association and other similar institutions and organizations and results of various previous studies were used.
