Welcome to the forum Leon.
What do you mean by "among moringa"

Hi Leon - Welcome to the forum.    Honey harvest always depends on the weather and other factors that are out of your control.   There's really no way to predict how much honey you're going to get.

As mentioned, very unpredictable. Too many factors but a good hive with a good flow will now bring in 60-70 pounds of honey. It used to bee around 120 pounds per hive. I have no idea what moringa is so I have no idea what it can produce.

Leon, please put your location in your profile to help us help you.   Is this what you mean? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moringa_oleifera

Moringa is a genus in Africa and Asia with about a dozen species ranging from an herb to a large tree.

Moringa is a tropical tree/shrub that bees absolutely love. We have some planted down here in The Keys but its not dense enough anywhere to say "how much" you can get off of it.
