>If you study the numbers you realize that they divide the gross honey production by the number of hives. This is very misleading for a number of reasons. Many of the colonies are not run for honey production, but used to produce bees for sale or solely for pollination. Some areas are not good honey producing areas, so a beekeeper may compensate by running more hives, lowering the average.

So the figures are meaningless really?

Best wishes
