Abstract

The influence of weather conditions on the average yield of honey in one apiary over a period of 30 years in the UK has been studied. In highly significant multiple regression equations weather variables accounted for over 80% of the variation in annual average honey yield. Weather in March, May and June had the major effects. Implications and applications of the equations are considered.
