description Dinavar is located in the east of Kermānshāh province. The natural features of this area and the human changes have created its cultural landscape. Today's Landscape shows agricultural machinery. Nevertheless, there are still signs of traditional. The abundance of indigenous species of bees has led to an increase in human knowledge of this insect and to find ways to exploit it more. The beekeeping culture in Dinavar region is the result of this knowledge. How this culture is the most important question of this research. According to preliminary evidences, it is hypothesized that Dinavar beekeeping culture is carried out in the form of elementary and complementary economic activities. The main purpose of this research is to introduce this culture and its conservation strategies. This research, which is of qualitative-descriptive type and is conducted field by interview, observation and audio-visual method, is related to beekeeping climate calendar, structures and related objects and related concepts. Studies have shown that the beliefs, values and practices are in the process of being forgotten by human interventions and the beekeepers' culture in the area will soon disappear with the use of modern methods or similar to the rest of the world. Therefore, it is suggested that, due to the environmental power of Dinavar area, the production of organic honey will be promoted by combining traditional and modern techniques among the mountainous regions, and the introduction of the beekeeping culture of this area will be introduced as an ecotourism draw.
