Book Description

Excerpt from Economic Aspects of the Bee Industry The weather probably has a greater effect on honey and wax produc tion than on many other agricultural commodities. A noticeable relation exists between the cumulative rainfall over a series of years in California and the per-colony yield. Over the past two decades both yield of honey per colony and rainfall have declined. Other factors such as sunshine, temperature, and wind direction and velocity also play a part in influencing per-colony production.
