Introduction: This bulletin presents final estimates, including revisions made by the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB), for the production years 1993 through 1997. Honey producing colonies, yield per colony, honey production, producer held stocks, price per pound, and value of production were published in calendar years 1993-1997 in annual ASB reports. Data included in this publication provide a historic record and benchmark for current estimates. Procedures: Revisions were made after a thorough review of the original survey data and all additional data now available, including the 1997 Census of Agriculture. The 1993-1997 estimates shown herein are considered final and will not be revised again. Revisions to honey produced at the National level are as follows: Pounds of Honey Produced Year From To Change (000) (000) % 1993 230,655 230,575 - 1994 217,168 218,187 +0.5 1995 210,516 211,073 +0.3 1996 198,197 199,511 +0.7 1997 192,393 196,536 +2.2 Historic Estimates: Final estimates of Honey Production in earlier years are available in Statistical Bulletins No. 912 for 1986-92, No. 673 for 1976-79, No. 614 for 1970-75, No. 500 for 1965-69, and No. 388 for 1955-64.
