Query from P. Borst: Does anyone else have anything to report?
Here is some data from two of my hives in Swampscott, MA. I weigh the honey supers weekly on a bathroom scale.
From early June to mid July, I observed a rate of 1.6 and 1.7 lbs/day from two hives. There is no sign (yet) of a decline in production. These are in two deep (10 frame Langstroth) boxes with one or two shallow honey supers in place. I do not have comparable data from other years, unfortunately.
