Flag of Hizan, current and former versions - Image by Tomislav Šipek, 20 September 2017

The flag of Hizan (photo) is white with the municipality's emblem. "Belediyesi" means "Municipality". The former municipal flag (photo, photo) was white with the municipality's former emblem.
The two emblems recall that Hizan is the cradle of Karakovan honey, the bees
thriving in a mountainous environment, far away from pesticide-sprayed
crops.
Most honey produced around the world comes from bees who have been fed
syrup to boost productivity. Karakovan ("black hive") honey - on the
other hand, aims for quality over quantity. The name derives from the
hollowed-out tree trunks that shelter the hive, keeping out light and
the meddling hands of beekeepers. Left to their own devices, the bees
must forage for food from the smorgasbord of Black Sea flora available.
This variety in their diet creates a complex and delectable honey you
won't find elsewhere.
