Spare a thought for the beekeepers in Turkey.
In the region around Marmaris, this corner of Turkey produced most of the world’s pine honey, a special kind of honey that depends on a delicate ecosystem, now largely destroyed.
My assumption is that it will take years before they can get back to something approaching normal.

That's a real loss. I'm a big fan of Turkish and Greek honeys,. I often get my customers (well used to get) to bring me back a jar from their hols and I would swap it for a jar of my own.
