What the figures say
In 2024, Israel produced 3,800 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).
Confirmed fact[1]That places it 51 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.2% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (3,052 t), production rose by 25%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 4,500 t in 2022, the lowest 820 t in 1963.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 125,321 beehives in 2024 (official figure). That is 55 of 98 countries.
Confirmed fact[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 30.3 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.
