Not in Australia.  For me last year was the best honey production year ever. 
Not so sure about this year though.  Looks like being below average but 
things can turn around quickly.  Also after a record year, you expect that 
nature will be taking a rest.

Others have not been as fortunate but colonies are still alive.  There is a 
need for over 100,000 hives in the almonds in the next couple of weeks.
