This publication presents final honey estimates made by the Agricultural Statistics Board for the period 1986-1992. The previous official series multi-year publication for honey was Statistical Bulletin No. 673 issued September 1981 for the years 1976-1979. Official NASS estimates are available for 1980-1981 in the NASS annual release "Honey" with the publication code SeHy 1-3 (82). NASS estimates for honey were not made for the years 1982-1985. For the period 1986-1992 NASS honey estimates were for producers with five or more colonies. including number of honey producing colonies. yield per colony. honey production. stocks held by producers. average price received by producers at point of first sale. and value of production. Colonies which produced honey in more than one State were counted in each State and yields may be understated. Estimates contained in this publication provide a historical record and benchmark for current estimates.
