Summary Honey: Final Estimates by State and United States, 200-2012, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Statistics Board, National Agricultural Statistics Service, Statistical Bulletin No. SB-3. Introduction: This bulletin presents final estimates, including revisions made by the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB), for the production years 200 through 2012. Honey producing colonies, yield per colony, honey production, producer held stocks, price per pound, and value of production were published in calendar years 200-2012 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 2012 Census of Agriculture. The 200-2012 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 Previous Final Change (1,000 pounds) (1,000 pounds) (percent) 200 13, 13, - 200 1, 1, - 20 1,2 1,2-20 1,3 1,3-2012 12,2 12,2 - - Represents zero. Historic Estimates: Final estimates of Honey Production in earlier years are available in Statistical Bulletins No. 2 for 2003-0, No. 2 for 1-02, No. a for 13-, No. 12 for 1-2, No. 3 for 1-, No. 1 for -, No. 00 for 1-, and No. 3 for 1-.

The Census is the leading source of statistics about the Nation s agricultural production and the only source of consistent, comparable data at the county, State, and national levels. The Census includes all places from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products, including government payments, were produced and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the census year. Census publications also include demographic items such as sex of operator, residence on or off the farm, days worked off farm, years present on farm, age group categories, race, and number of persons living in each household.
