i have (had, i lost them to varroa) two hives. i got about70 pounds of
honey from both. i give the honey away to work comrades and friends.
sometimes i sell it to people who fwant more because they feel that it is
especially healthy for them (allergies, healing, etc.). the honey that i
give away or sell is raw - i only filter it.
 
hope this helps . . .
 
regards, richard
