How much honey can one new hive produce?

Basically a hive is a few boxes called supers. They can be shallow, medium or deep. Each box/super can have from 7-10 frames depending on the type you decide to use when you take up beekeeping. Hives must have a few supers for brood and to raise more bees. The honey they put away is for them but we tend to take what "extra" there is knowing they need at least a full box/super for their winter. From a medium super which has 9-10 frames you can expect from 40-60 lbs of honey generally speaking about 3 gallons worth. Some hives if strong can give you 2, 3 or 4 supers full of honey but it depends on where you live, the strength of the colony, if it is an established or new hive and of course the weather.
