U.S. Honey Output Rises 20%
WASHINGTON - Feb 25/11 - SNS -- Honey production in the United States rose 20% in 2010 to 176 million pounds from producers with five or more colonies, according to the USDA.
There were 2.68 million colonies producing honey in 2010, up 7% from 2009. Yield per colony averaged 65.5 pounds, up 12% from the 58.6 pounds in 2009. Colonies which produced honey in more than one State were counted in each State where the honey was produced. Therefore, at the United States level yield per colony may be understated, but total production would not be impacted. Colonies were not included if honey was not harvested.
Producer honey stocks were 45.3 million pounds on December 15, 2010, up 21% from a year earlier. Stocks held by producers exclude those held under the commodity loan program.
