How many BYH hives would I need to get the same production as a Langstroth hive?

Q. To accomplish the same production as a Langstroth hive, how many of the Backyard Hives would it take?

A. In the BYH the bee's have to draw out virgin comb each time one is removed, which slows down the production, but this also helps to keep the hive healthy. Also, Backyard Hives typically have less bees in them than a Langstroth hive, so production is less. I've heard that Langstroth hives produce about 10 gallons of honey per year each, which is more than twice what a Backyard Hive will produce.

I have not done a side by side comparison but I have a few tests in the field that will yield results next year.
