"A record yield for an African bee colony?  That is pretty impressive, 500
lbs from one
colony."

In South Africa occasionally you'd find huge amounts of honey in ferral
hives, as they store it up over a period of years. It would be easier in
that area of California where nectar is available all year. I just wonder
how many swarms and micro swarms that hive sent out. I wonder also if
there were several hives next to each other, or whether the number of bees
was exaggerated.
