OH,  AND FYI if you get a light package,  normally its because its been in
transit to long,  not because it was light when it was filled.

​I have been weighing any packages we purchased the last 2 years and in
every case what should have been  3# of bees actually weighed 2-1/2# of
bees.  The supplier that I purchase from brings a truck load of
packages from Georgia and drives through to W. NYS.  I'll pick up the day
they arrive here or the next day and the cans of syrup are pretty much
full.

I assumed that the supplier was not providing 3# but short changing the
customer.  Because... who would weigh a package before shaking and after
keeping everything (package, syrup can, lid, etc) together?

​Thanks for the insight. ​
