What the figures say
In 2024, Belize produced 57 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).
Confirmed fact[1]That places it 113 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.0% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (78 t), production fell by 27%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 308 t in 1986, the lowest 29 t in 2008.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 2,029 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 92 of 98 countries.
Statistical estimate[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 28.1 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.
