3 Honey and Beeswax Number Colonies, Yield per Colony, Production, Price per Pound, and Value of Production, by States, This publication presents a record of the revised estimates of the Crop Reporting Board of the Statistical Reporting Service relating to honey and beeswax for The annual estimates of numbers of colonies on hand and production are based primarily on survey returns from producers The revised estimates are based on a thorough review of the original estimates, taking into consideration the current survey data collected during the period and other information, such as State inspection records, estimates by State apiary inspectors and entomologists, and reports from commercial honey buyers and packers Estimates of the number of colonies of 'bees represent all colonies that are on hand during the year They include colonies that were lost during the year, as well as new colonies Small operations of one or more colonies are included as well as commercial operations The yield per colony is based mainly on mail reports from producers giving both the number of colonies and the total pounds taken from the hives Estimates of total production for a State are the product of the estimated number of colonies times the average yield per colony Stocks of honey on hand September 15 and December 15 represent stocks of honey for sale that are in producers' hands on those dates The estimates are based on reports which give both the production of honey and the supplies on hand for the particular date The production of beeswax is determined by the same procedure as total honey production The price of honey and beeswax is the price received by producers for all honey sold Prices are based on mailed reports from producers giving prices by various size containers This includes retail sales as well as wholesale - 3 -
