Azerbaijan beekeeper continues family’s 40-year tradition

Sabir Mustafayev and his family have practiced beekeeping in Azerbaijan for three generations, recently establishing a farm in Kalbajar in 2021 and opening honey shops in Kalbajar and Baku.

Mustafayev notes the profession has changed over his 40 years, as beekeepers now face challenges like global warming. The annual Honey Festival in Kalbajar aims to promote the region’s honey and connect local producers with international markets.
