Incorrect. The records are accurate and I would challenge you to prove
differently. As an example back about 1951, Tim Smith, who founded
Capilano, extracted 3,000 tins ( 60 pounds in a tin) from 300 hives. That
is 10 tins per hive so is 600 pounds per hive. Try telling Tim he didn't
keep accurate records. So if you use a normal bell curve, then it stands to
reason that some hives would have produced a lot more per hive than the 600
pounds.

This is a new twist. Extracted at one time? Seems a bit suspicious to me.
It would be very easy to rig a result like this. I could just add supers
and at the end of the seasone extract it. I am talking about honey
extracted in a season. If you look at the post it says ( and I have copied
it so this should be accurate) "I had one queen produce over 400 pounds in a
season". Notice it says in a season, not in one harvest.
