  • Compared with 2000 (876 t), production rose by 287%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 4,926 t in 2015, the lowest 400 t in 1993.

  • FAO counts 432,025 beehives in 2024 (official figure). That is 30 of 98 countries.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 7.9 kg of honey per hive. This is a ratio of two FAOSTAT numbers, not a measured yield: hives are counted at one moment, honey over a year.
