Well, I just want to report back. At one hive per acre, you can expect
about 20 pounds of honey per hive. The situation is a well managed,
irrigated raspberry farm with a longish blooming season.

As a point of interest, the strong hives gave a full shallow super, and
the weaker hives didn't put anything away. But on average, with 15 hives
at approximately 1 hive per hectar, there's something like 250-300 pounds
of honey.

Best
Tim
