    At Bulah's Best Farm, we harvest honey from beehives based on the seasonal nectar flow and hive strength.

The amount of honey a hive produces can vary, but on average, a healthy hive can yield anywhere from 30 to 100 pounds of honey per year, depending on factors like bee population, forage availability, and environmental conditions. We never over harvest and always keep our bee's happiness and health our top priority.
