Can the Backyard Hive be used for maximum honey production?

A. I'm looking to produce a lot of honey, can the Backyard Hive be used for maximum production?

B. If you are going into the business of beekeeping with only production in mind the BYH cannot compete on a hive per hive basis with commercial hives. Each of my hives produce around 3 to 4 gallons of honey per hive per year. Remember that there is a trade off with production vs. a healthy hive. With the BYH the comb is removed and extracted by crushing the comb and filtering it through a screen, which also yields wax. With the Langstroth hive, the combs are removed and the honey spun off. Then the combs are put back into the hive. This process invites disease and contamination into the hive. So "Lots of honey" might only last until the hives are diseased. If you run multiple Backyard Hives and are selling at the local farmers markets and pricing your honey as "organic" you should be doing quite well.
