NASS Regions 6 & 7 - 2 of 20 reporting states
9.5% of the U.S. crop ▼ 17.3%
The latest USDA honey row for California pairs production, colony count, yield, price, and colony stressors without filling suppressed values.
Year-over-year change across every reported honey metric for California.
Each metric as a percentage above or below the U.S. baseline (center line = U.S. average).
Share of California colonies hit by each stressor (April-June), against the U.S. profile. Hover any axis or bar to compare.
The arc matters as much as the latest number. Stressor pressure is the one metric we can already track quarter to quarter for every state.
Share of California colonies reporting varroa mites across the official Honey Bee Colonies stressor series.
Official Honey Bee Colonies stressor rows only. This chart does not synthesize honey, yield, or pollination time-series shapes.
The opportunity index keeps California's crop demand, regional pollination fee, local colony supply, and colony health pressure visible as separate weighted inputs.
A transparent, weighted blend - directional context for pollination planning, not a forecast.
Composite of the four factors below, each scored 0-100 then weighted.
The closing cards keep structural Census baselines and related reporting states visible without mixing them into the annual honey row.
Structural baseline - independent of the annual honey survey.
