Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the consumption condition and factors affecting the consumption of bee products of consumers in Kahramanmaras. The main material of the study is the data obtained from surveys conducted with 270 consumers living in Kahramanmaras city centre in 2018. Descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA and t-test, were used to analyse the data. According to the results, while 84.4% of the consumers consume honey, the percentage of the consumers consuming pollen and royal jelly are 7.8% and 1.5% respectively.
