Origin: Türkiye

Production of Düzce Chestnut Honey; It is realized by collecting the flower essences of the chestnut trees, which are in bulk and scattered and blooming as of June, by Yığılca bees. The less rainfall the chestnut trees receive during flowering, the more honey is produced. This is because the chestnut flower is very sensitive to rain and loses its pollen and nectar when exposed to rain. Düzce Chestnut Honey is produced in about a month. Beekeepers carry out their beekeeping activities by using langstroth type standard hive, preferably made of fir wood boards.

Duzce province; It is in a very advantageous position for beekeeping in terms of its geographical structure and vegetation. The presence of chestnut trees has a historical background in Düzce, where 50% of the general land assets are forested. In addition, having a unique bee ecotype indicates that the region has ecological characteristics suitable for the development of bee and beekeeping activities. The necessity of obtaining maximum yield in a short time from the rich nectar content of chestnut tree flowers, which have a flowering period of about one month, highlights the Yığılca bee, which exhibits superior performance in terms of honey yield. Yığılca bee is a winter-hardy bee ecotype that adapts very well to its region and has about 3 times the honey yield of other ecotypes.
