I believe we get about 40# average. It depends on how tight you super the
bees. If they are crowded, they will stuff the heck out of them, and you
could get a little more than 40.

We use 8 and have about the same yeild in my opinion. I don't think the
queens are as likely to lay them up with the combs spread further apart.
