Jim,
  Last I knew,there were 20 lids to a lb.,so according to G.I.that would be
175 bees, which is a little shy of the recomended 300.

  You do have a valid point.If we are to test for mites,either sugar/ether
roll or 24hr drop,we should know the number of bees.I don't count the
bees,nor,sometimes, the frames of bees.

  Any one know the number of bees in 1/2 cup?Thats about 2 fingers in a one
quart mason(spagetti sauce) jar.     Jack
