> How does one measure bees?


Measure across 10 comb openings with a ruler marked off in millimeters
and divide by 10.  Michael Bush has a excellent web page on it at:
http://www.bushfarms.com/beesnaturalcell.htm

My first generation bees building on top bars have a smallest cell size of
5.0 mm
for brood and go up to 6.2 mm for honey and drone.
