• In 2024, Mexico produced 57,430 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).

  Confirmed fact[1]

• That places it 10 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 2.9% of world production.

  Statistical estimate[1]

• Compared with 2000 (58,935 t), production fell by 3%.

  Statistical estimate[1]

• The highest figure in the series is 74,613 t in 1986, the lowest 24,000 t in 1961.

  Confirmed fact[1]

• FAO counts 2,139,447 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 10 of 98 countries.

  Statistical estimate[1]

• Dividing the two figures gives about 26.8 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.

  Statistical estimate[1]

• Beeswax production: 1,120 tonnes in 2024 (official figure).
