Best days 8 kg a day

Vertical axes honey kg

horizontal date during yield period.

21.7 - 4.8 bees got something but they consumed it daily

Yield season was exceptinally hot and dry

Wow,that translates to 309 pounds in 5 weeks with a top day of 17.6 pounds.
Interesting chart Finski.
What would be the main source of nectar during the hot and dry season?

.
The best nectar plants were wild raspberry and willow herb (fireweed). Canola went badly wrong.

The biggest recorded weight rise was 30 lbs in a day from raspberry. It was not my hive.

We have balance hive network in Finland.

West Finland suffered badly from dry hot summer. Canola is often only yield plant in west coast and it does not like hot weather.

The uppermost Tervola is near Polar Circle.

Intererestin point in statistic

date      weight rise kg               
                     
11.7.    ..........   5,3   ..........   canola gives well, Bees hang on the wall         
13.7.    ..........   4,5   ..........   I took one langstroth and 2 mediums away capped honey         
   ..........      ..........            
14.7.    ..........   7,8   ..........   bees went to work from the wall         
15.7.    ..........   8,7   ..........   where it comes from?         
16.7.    ..........   7,4   ..........   no bees of bumble bees in red clower         
   ..........      ..........            
17.7.    ..........   5,5   ..........      

The hive was full of honey 11.7. And bees hanged in a big cluster outside.
I took 3 box capped honey away and I gived more empty combs.

The income flow jumped from 5 kg to 8 kg next day = +60%

So, it is a huge meaning do bees have enough store room in the hive, where they rippen the nectar.

Very good point on yield potential.Full boxes gather no honey.
