I've never had an average year.  I've had 300 pounds per hive years.  I've had no honey and feed 80 pounds of sugar per hive years...

Last year I got 38, 8 ounce bottles of honey from my one and only hive. I don't know what that weighs out to.

the worlds weather has always been eratic.  I don't thing there has been a single time in history where the earth wasn't heating up or cooling down.

19 pounds.

We got 55 lbs out of one hive last year, the other one, the one we called the weak one, didn't produce anything surplus that we could see, however, that hive yielded a full super of honey this spring after they died.
