What the figures say
In 2024, Canada produced 35,460 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).
Confirmed fact[1]That places it 12 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 1.8% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (31,860 t), production rose by 11%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 48,450 t in 2006, the lowest 13,931 t in 1962.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 745,945 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 18 of 98 countries.
Statistical estimate[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 47.5 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.
