Post by: Jenna Tetil on September 04, 2015, 01:34:37 PM
Created a calculator to help new beekeepers understand how much honey to expect from their hive. Enjoy!

It is nice, Jenna.  Thank You.


A computer can't figure somethings, it would need more info.  If you have 9 frames instead of 10 you can possibly get more honey.

I have several shallow honey supers also.  They are easier on your back.

I will save it to favorites also.

Thanks for all the nice comments!

After some other great feedback about the calculator being too conservative, I added a slider tool to allow the user to increase the amount of honey per frame.  Thanks!
