Hi Ian,
I have kept production records for 14 years and its rare, at least in
my neck of the woods to average more than 30 lbs per 6 5/8 super. The
highest average I've recorded is 35 lbs per super and most of these
these really looked full. If I'm trying to estimate a crop I use 25
lbs/super for an average looking crop and 30 lbs for a very nice one.
