Sorry Bob,  but no the girls do not estimate.   When told to count,  they
count.......Large piles...

I mistyped... the 200 was supposed to be 20.... plus or minus 20.....Again,
as fresh bees,  they lose 1-2 ounces a day on a 3lb cluster.  So 3-4 % per
day loss on weight.
Once they leave the hive......
