In the study, it was revealed that 40.00% of beekeepers who come to Hakkâri are beekeepers of Hatay, this is followed by beekeepers from Adana with 28.85% and beekeepers from Şanlıurfa with 19.23%. According to results, while great majority of beekeepers (34.62%) who start to transfer their colony from the beginning of nectar flow arrive to Hakkâri in the last week of May, beekeepers from Hakkâri who plans to wintering their colonies in temperate regions leave the region in the middle of September (48.00%). Migratory beekeeping which enables to make more use of nectar resources has become one of the basic requirements of beekeeping recently. However, depending on negative cases such as loss of local genotypes due to causing uncontrolled hybridization, it is compulsory to take control of colony movements. In this case, results of this study would contribute to the arrangement of colony movements for the region. © 2020, Centenary University.
