Query from P. Borst: Does anyone else have anything to report?

Here is some data from two of my hives in Swampscott, MA.  I weigh the honey supers weekly on a bathroom scale.

From early June to mid July, I observed a rate of 1.6 and 1.7 lbs/day from two hives.  There is no sign (yet) of a decline in production.  These are in two deep (10 frame Langstroth) boxes with one or two shallow honey supers in place.  I do not have comparable data from other years, unfortunately.
