The Honey Index

Three decades of American honey, in the open.

Every hive placement on HiveLinks sits inside a bigger story, one the whole industry should be able to see. This public report pulls USDA/NASS honey, colony health, crop demand, and pollination benchmark aggregates into one readable view with the source grain visible.

The long view · indexed to 2016 = 100

Production keeps drifting down — but price keeps climbing.

U.S. honey output has thinned for a decade even as the price per pound hit record highs. Rebase every series to 2016 and the split is plain: production and yield drift down, while price and crop value pull up.

Indexed to 2016 = 100

Each series is rebased so you can compare direction, not absolute scale.

Geography

Honey clusters in a handful of states.

Honey isn't spread evenly. A short list of northern-plains and west-coast states accounts for most of the national crop - and each tells a different story on price, yield, and colony health.

Pollination economics

Pollination vs. the honey it replaces.

Put crop fees next to a full honey season baseline, then layer in national income, health expense, and colony-loss pressure.

Production chart

Pollination fees vs. a full honey season

Each crop fee reads against what one colony earns from honey all year.

Method

Honey baseline equals national yield per colony multiplied by national price per pound. Income, expense, and colony-loss figures use public USDA/NASS national aggregates.

Methodology caveats

Release and retrieval dates come from the public source metadata loaded into market_* aggregate tables.
Missing or suppressed USDA/NASS values remain unavailable and are not converted to zero.
Derived and aggregate labels are methodology context, not forecasts or private marketplace signals.

Public USDA/NASS aggregate context only. No grower addresses, private yard pins, contracts, messages, placement details, negotiated terms, or contact records are read by this route.

Rankings

Every reporting state, ranked.

The table is the canonical accessible representation for the report. Sort any column, compare the economic view, or switch into colony-health context.

Partial public Honey rows: 24 geographies have no latest annual Honey row, so they are omitted from this reporting-state table instead of being shown as blank or zero-value rows.

Every reporting state

Sorted table fallback for the report metrics. State-level history is not drawn unless D1 has the official series.
