I didn't receive the post that this referred to, but
I've weighed a lot of chilled, CO2-anesthetized, or freshly freeze-killed
bees (it's more difficult to weigh them if moving).
Their average weights can vary hive-to-hive and comb by comb.
Typically in the 110 - 140 milligram (not ug) range (so a little over a
tenth of a gram per bee, live weight).
