Hi Bee folk,
 
Hugh Thone from Antwerp asked me if I could put the statistics about how many
trips it takes bees to make a pound of honey on the web site or this b-line.
 My beekeeping stuff is in my "northern" house and I am here in Tampa right
now.  Is there anyone from Dadant on this line who could grab those sorts of
statistics and put them on this line so that Hugo and others could have them?
 I can't help with accurate numbers right now. Is the definition of a
"migratory beekeeper" one who migrates from her southern home to her northern
hives and back?  It's frusting being away from "the girls,"  When I finally
have time to get to an area beekeepers meeting and get the low down on
keeping bees in Florida, I may just start up a token hive here just do my
skills don't get rusty!
 
I realize that he can call the Dadant number (800) 637-7468, but he may not
be able to easily reach an American telephone number from Europe.
 
Perhaps there's someone from  Bee Culture (Kim....are you there?) who had
these statistics or from another bee company.  Thanks for your help.
