> Just casual observation at the entrance it seems the number of foragers does not change in proportion to hive size,
Disagree. Strong colonies have a lot more foragers coming and going.
Poorly stated on my part. It does not appear that bigger hives have a larger proportion of foragers. It appears to me the ratio is about the same.
Randys chart shows that in big hives as much as 50% may forage, instead of the ususal. I don't see that.
