What the figures say
In 2024, Belarus produced 2,256 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).
Confirmed fact[1]That places it 63 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.1% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (2,432 t), production fell by 7%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 4,280 t in 1994, the lowest 1,856 t in 2003.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 149,300 beehives in 2024 (official figure). That is 53 of 98 countries.
Confirmed fact[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 15.1 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.
