Beekeeping has been an important agricultural activity performed for long years in Ordu province. Ordu province is very important region for beekeeping in terms of both the availability of number of beekeepers and hives and the share of production. As allowed by its ecological and social and economic structure, beekeeping may be made all around Turkey. Regional vegetation species are inadequate to meet the needs of bee populations. For that reason Ordu beekeepers are continuing their beekeeping activities by taking their bees out of the province. Main expectations of the region beekeepers from the government were on providing opportunity of becoming a suitable breeding material, development of honey forests in province, education of beekeepers, bee health, bee adaptation, quality and standard of honey, honey production cost, honey marketing, providing convenience for mobile beekeeping and taking necessary precaution in avoidance of excessive sugar syrup use and fake honey.

In addition, it will be able to direct some policy and important solutions to develop local beekeeping. The purpose of this review is; by presenting the general structure of beekeeping in Ordu, analyzing its current problems and developing some solution suggestions for these problems
