Half of last year, because of a cold May
What happened
A cold, wet May meant the main flow was almost entirely missed. The colonies are strong and went into autumn well fed.
What that means
Forty kilos rather than eighty-six, and it will be gone by December rather than lasting to spring.
The price
Unchanged. Raising it in a bad year would mean lowering it in a good one, and we would rather it simply stayed the same.
