On a good year I can get around 7000lb. Last year was light because of the drought.
I am treatment free. I had to stop treating years ago because we could not afforded it. I lost 8 of my 10 hives and almost gave up bee keeping. I did splits from those 2 and all 4 went through the winter, then split them. I should reach my goal of 100 this year. I still lose a few but I am NOT putting chemicals in my hives. I lost 5 this winter and one of them was from a cow knocking it over around Christmas and the land owner did not see it till it was to late.
