4 INTRODUCTION This publication presents final honey production estimates, including some revisions, made by the Crop Reporting Board (CRB) for the period Estimates were published on a current basis during based primarily on results of producer surveys. Survey samples included all known large producers and a sample of smaller producers. lists of producers were updated annually. Revisions were made only after a thorough review of the original estimates and consideration of new data, including that from the 1978 Census of Agriculture, State inspection records, estimates by State apiary inspectors and entomologists, and reports from commercial honey buyers and packers. Number of Colonies: Estimates of the number of bee colonies represents 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. Yield per Colony: Yield per colony is based mainly on mail reports from producers giving both number of colonies and total pounds of honey taken from the hives. Estimates of total production for a State are the product of estimated number of colonies times average yield per colony. Stocks on Hand: Stocks of honey on hand on December 15 represent stocks of honey for sale that are in producers' hands on that date. The estimates are based on reports which give both production of honey and supplies on hand for the particular date. Beeswax: Production of beeswax is determined by the same procedure as total honey production. Price per Pound: 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 sizes of container. They include retail sales as well as wholesale. 4
