Spatial Analysis of Honey Yield by Province Based on Registered Honey Production Data: Exploring Spatial Patterns Using Autocorrelation Statistic

Tuba Bayir, Emre Arslan, Seref Inal
Throughout history, bees and their products have gained ever-increasing importance. Honey, valued for its diverse uses, has driven the emergence of new industries and products, fueled by the growing demand for beekeeping as a sustainable source of income. Providing spatial information is very important to ensure the sustainability of products. Therefore, this study aimed to reveal the spatial distribution of honey yield outputs in Türkiye with spatial analysis methods using exploratory spatial data analyses. Honey yield outputs in four time periods (2005–2010; 2011–2016; 2017–2022; 2005–2022) was tested by autocorrelation analysis, and Moran's I scatter plot was produced for each period. Standard Z statistics were found to be 4.1064, 3.1910, 2.1980 and 3.4427, respectively (p
