During this month and last, I think it would be hard to beat the areas of
central and southern California specifically around the eucalyptus. Hives
which have never been fed during the winter regularly produce a super
every two weeks. I must say that this is only (at least for me) in hives
in the immediate vicinity of large eucalyptus trees. The other hives have
only produced exess honey at about 1 super per month. The draw back is
when you only get 15 to 20 inches of rain per year, the summer months
aren't so good unless you are around irrigated crops which aren't sprayed
too much, like citrus and avocados, or in a town where gardens supply
honey. I would say that for a stationary non-feed hive, one could count on
175 pounds per year or so on average, and I know areas with long winters
but much more rain get more.
