How much honey does a hive produce?
You have no way of knowing how much honey your hive will produce at the beginning of the season. If you have a good season, with lots of sunny days allowing the bees to go out and collect, a hive could produce over 60lb of honey. But the average hive will produce between 20-30lb of surplus honey – some honey does need to be left for the bees feed on the winter.
