- Abstract
Besides its contribution to ecological balance, being an alternative source of income in rural areas increases the importance of beekeeping. The aim of this study is the determination of the efficiency of beekeeping by provinces in Turkey. The research data consists of honey production, beeswax production, the number of beekeeping businesses, and the number of hives in 81 provinces. Data envelopment analysis was used to determine the efficiency of beekeeping by provinces. The number of beekeeping businesses and the number of hives were defined as the input variables for analysis. Honey production was defined as the output variable in the first model, and honey production and wax production were defined as the output variables in the second model. Ordu is among the provinces that have full efficiency in both models. Total efficiency values were calculated as 0.19 and 0.30 in the first and second models, respectively. These values show that the efficiency in beekeeping in Turkey is low. However, it has been determined that the efficiency value is high in provinces with large-scale beekeeping businesses and high honey yield. Therefore, it is important to implement incentive policies for beekeepers to increase the number of hives.
