Honey production on a Prescott, Wisconsin farm was 50 pounds per hive, down from the average of 85 pounds per hive, for about 59% of normal.
Drought means fewer flowers producing nectar for bees to make honey. Some honey farms noted that bee populations were also down, due to less food for the bees.
