Here is my report on greener pastures...
 
I started keeping bees here in Santa Cruz, California about four years ago.
We are located on the ocean side of the Santa Cruz Mountains about half way
between San Francisco and Monterey CA.
 
We tend to experience long drawn out honey flows, beginning in December and
continuing through July. My per hive average is about 100 lbs.
 
Ormond Aebi of Santa Cruz, set a Guiness World Record for the most honey
from a single queen hive in a single season back in the 70's. I believe it
was 400+ few odd pounds. You can look it up in an old Guiness from the Mid
1970's.
